Rapinoe got a triumphant send-off, and the United States beat South Africa 2-0 on Sunday.
"I know that I am a liked player," she said. "And I know that I mean a lot to the game. But to have this night come and to actually feel it and see it — from my teammates, from our staff and certainly from the fans, who have been such a huge part of our success on and off the field, really — it was very special."
There was a video tribute following the game. An emotional Rapinoe then addressed the crowd, at one point having some fun with Lindsey Horan for crying, telling her "Pull it together, Lindsey. She’s not handling it well." Rapinoe still has a few more regular-season games for the Reign, including a send-off match for local fans in Seattle on Oct. 6, before her career comes to an end. And what a remarkable career it has been.
