it was a very much case of no rapinoe, no problem. once again the usa were lightning quick out of the box. they scored for the sixth time in six games inside the first 12 minutes. this time it was veteran of over 100 who impressed who set the defending champions on their way, followed by birthday girl alex morgan as she keeps up her campaign for the golden boot award given to the top scorer. again, there's controversy over the celebrations after all that criticism, you may remember, for being overboard in the usa's opening trashing of thailand. then carly lloyd's subtle golf clap against chile. this time morgan stopped for tea. was it a dig at an endlish thatdition or -- endingliglish tradition, we don't know. it was up to alissa naeher to book the usa in a record fifth world cup final. >> just meant a lot to me to have, you know, through this whole thing my teammates have had my back. i've had theirs, and it was just kind of a culmination of that. >> reporter: such a moment for naeher having faced criticism as to whether or not she's

and trump firing back, "maybe rapinoe should win first." well, rapinoe did just that. she and her team won decisively. and what does president trump have to say now? take a listen. >> will you invite the women's team to the white house, the soccer team? >> haven't really thought about it. we will look at that. yeah. >> hasn't really thought about it. i want to bring in cnn's amanda davis in leone, france. what does rapinoe make about it, saying about her big win? >> reporter: well, the first thing she said is that it's time to celebrate, ana, and it's fair to say the party is well on its way. this has been talked about as the biggest, the best, women's world cup yet with so many of the former players i've been talking to this week talking about it's the best standard of the women's game they've ever seen. and the u.s. women's team saw off the competition in some style to claim this record extending fourth crown. rapinoe was joking that sunglasses season would be in full swing with the parties getting started. i have to tell you, there's already videos doing the rounds

can we give the fans a rapinoe as we go? back to you. >> love, love, love those girls. thank you so much, dave. we'll get back to you in a minute. brooke baldwin among the sea of fans along the parade route. how'd you get so luck ato get this assignment? >> reporter: because i asked for it. >> that's what women need to do. >> reporter: i raised my hand and i wanted to cover the parade and i wanted to get up early to be surrounded by all these young ladies and boys here as well lining this parade route, wanting to catch a half second glimpse of their idols. high schoolers, soccer, best friends, sisters. this is also their second world cup ticker-tape parade. you said this already feels bigger. tell me why you wanted to be here. >> we wanted to be here because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and only happens every four years and this year we got lucky. >> why do you love them so much? >> they win the wurl cup, they're fighting for equal pay. >> we're coming back to that equal pay issue. sisters, you play soccer. you have this alex morgan tea sipping situation on you

so that's megan rapinoe and that's live tv, earn. apologies, we cannot control megan rapinoe's speech. but christine brennen is here with me as they're going to be getting the keys to the city right now. i feel like i -- well, i have never seen anything like this before. >> no, i would agree. and when people talk about her running for office, you can see how comfortable she is, how funny. i'm busy, she says. but the battle to have her endorse will be extraordinary in the democratic primary, to have her on stage for a candidate. we'll see how that plays out. >> and what -- she also took -- and something you noted to me is just the diversity of this team, the closeness of this team. and that was something that she very appropriately is celebrating, celebrating on stage in that speech. >> well, that team looks a lot more like america than the 1999 team. obviously, soccer started in the suburbs, title ix has been a huge success in the suburbs. not so much in urban areas or rural areas, but this team has a handful of women who are multi r

star player, advocate for equality in every right, megan rapinoe doing what else but the rapinoe. you'll see it in just a moment. there it is. what a moment, what a day. final thoughts, christine brennan and julie to you. >> spectacular. we wouldn't have seen this 20 years ago. although there was a tiny parade in new york back in '99, not ticker tape but a small parade. there was one new yorker that couldn't wait to meet the players. >> and that was? >> donald trump. donna is our source on that. so he couldn't wait 20 years ago. >> a little different now, i think. julie. >> the biggest takeaway is seeing these women step away from the spotlight in such a critical time politically and showing that women deserve more. we break these societal constructs. i'm canadian. i grew up cheering for a different team. this is a team now that i'm so proud to know so many of them and to have covered them and to see them just take this moment and transcend time and just be role models for everyone in this entire world. we will look at this moment years and years down the road and say, hey, we saw

rapino sat out because affohamstring injury we found out, but she says she will be good for the next game on saturday. the host of cbs sports headquarters, first let's talk about the game yesterday because they're such a deep talent and a team with a lot of threats. >> that's what they pride themselves on. we saw rapino going out, but christian comes in and also tactically benefitted them because she's so quick, she came in and there were concerns about one of england's outside backs lucy bronze, there was no problem. on the tenth minute she was able to connect with that header and she did dedicate it to her mother who recently passed away. think about ordering the pasta you always want and they're out of it and you order the fish instead and it might be the better decision. so it proved them well in this game. >> rapino says she'll be back for the final so do we think this is relatively minor hamstring injury? >> the fact jim ellis did want start her memes it had to be pretty significant. and you have to think about penalties and that's your biggest spot kick taker. but the fact is

[cheers and applause] although, you know, any day can be free slurpy day if you drink them fast enough. people love this holiday. they've been doing this for 17 years now. and it's much more popular than 7-eleven's other big promotional holiday, free wrinkled tiny hot dog that's been sitting out since the bush administration. i believe that's october 8. today's the day you spend hours waiting in line for a slurpy for free, or you can pay a dollar any other day and get one in like two seconds, nothing against slurpies. as a general rule, i don't dri

rapinoe is co-captain and star of the u.s. women's national soccer team which just won the world cup again. but she's about much more than soccer. rapinoe has made news both for her fight for equal pay for women's soccer players and for her refusal to celebrate with her team at the white house. we are very happy to have megan rapinoe join us this morning. welcome to "meet the press." >> thank you. thank you for having me on. >> a long-time boxing reporter who's now a baseball announcer, charlie steiner, said to me he viewed you as a modern day ali. here's what "sports illustrated" wrote. there are elements of a modern-day ali many rapinoe's co-mingling of sports and social activism, to say nothing of her ability to turn the media's attention, even when negative, in certain circles to her advantage. what do you make of the ali comparisons? >> that's very flattering. i don't know if i'm ali, but i'm happy to be the biggest ally akin to ali. >> what opportunity do you see here? it's like, okay, we got the attention. i am going to

megan rapinoe, we'll talk about it with raymond arroyo. seen and unseen next. >> laura: it's time for our seen and unseen segment where we expose big cultural stories of the day. megan rapinoe is a little -- politicizing cultural consequences in a story of a gas e-filing? joining us with all these details is raymond arroyo. it seems like she's gone into full -- i don't know, is a demon mode? but people criticize everyone. even at today's u.s. soccere world cup parade in new york, it was... i thought there was no i in team. remember that? >> apparently there is. there is no doubt, rapinoe and her team are indisputable champions. but watch how she made herself a name for herself protesting national anthems, the trump administration, watch how she conducted herself in today's victory. >> it's our responsibility to, make the world a better place. i think this team does an incredible job of taking that on our shoulders and understanding the position we have and the platform we have. we've got to listen more and talk less. new york city, you're

you've got bronze and paris on the other side, but rapino has had a phenomenal tournament and i think rachel has got it spot on, she is going to be the big threat tonight. gemma, there is a thing about the us team perhaps above all, the sport is critically important to them and they are used to winning, but issues of equal rights as well is at the forefront, it seems what they stand for, is that fair enough? absolutely, this team stands for equal rights, equal pay, gay rights, immigrant rights, you name it. rapino described the team as a walking protest and as it kind of a lwa ys walking protest and as it kind of always has been in women's football, this is so much more thanjust always has been in women's football, this is so much more than just a game, this is a team that is playing that embodies the values of the american ideals of equality and truth and justice and they are such an inspirationjust truth and justice and they are such an inspiration just on and off the field. the us team are the three—time champions and very much the favourites in this tournament. if the lioness is

and alexandria ocasio-cortez invited rapinoe. it's a question or whether or not they decide to go to one or the other or both. >> the president did congratulate the team on twitter yet. america is incredibly proud of the whole team there. once again, i don't understand what the controversy is. he has invited the team. this goes to show what can happen to the president when he engages in the back and forths in all this. he can get himself backed into a corner. >> they've got bigger opportunities than worrying about the white house. for sports figures, that's nothing new. that's just because of who trump is and how he uses the office. i think what's so great for this team is their excellence on the soccer pitch, their standing as role models for the country, and as a team to be celebrated gives them tremendous opportunity to be celebrated and to also use this platform they've been given. they'll do it for good. and it's important for any team to be gracious, to use this opportunity to speak their minds and stand for something which

captain rapinoe broke the deadline. that goal also saw her claim the golden boot for the tournament's top scorer. what a moment as well for rose labelle. she scored the second four years after she was hitting at home watching the last victory in canada whilst eating pizza. talking about watching at homes, the results were celebrated rightly by fans across the u.s.a. this tournament has so increased the visibility in the game in more ice that it could be? >> i think everyone is ready for this conversation to move to the next step. i think everyone is sick of are we worth it? should we have equal pay? are the markets the same? i mean, we put on as all players. every player that just woke up put on the most incredible show. we can't do anything more. >> reporter: it was an incredible spectacle. no surprise that the body that represents the u.s. women in the lawsuit used that just minutes after the trophy celebration to issue a statement which hit hard against u.s. soccer. the sad equation remains all too clear. these athle
