The outspoken pair have not seen eye to eye in the past but it appears that both were left irked after viewing a clip of the US international stalwart from four years ago
Tennis star Nick Kyrgios could not resist issuing a veiled dig at Piers Morgan, even if the outspoken pair did find themselves agreeing over a viral clip of Megan Rapinoe.
The 38-year-old winger played a bit-part role for the Stars and Stripes during the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer and missed a vital penalty in the shootout versus Sweden. Unable to repeat her heroics of four years ago, when she scored the winning penalty in the World Cup final shootout, she blazed her attempt over the bar to condemn the US to an early exit this time around.
Overall, the USWNT had a tournament to forget Down Under, with their loss in the Round of 16 their worst showing in the nation’s history on the world stage. They were far from convincing in the group stage as well, recording just a single win in what was also their worst performance at that phase of the competition’s history.
Rapinoe has also faced criticism for her reaction following her miss in the aforementioned penalty shootout versus Sweden, which finished 5-4. The OL Reign star fired her shot over the bar from twelve yards but walked back to the centre-circle with a smile on her face.
