re: Megan Rapinoe, how good was she?

She would be way less known among the general public, certainly.
How well known are Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd, both of whom are better players than Rapinoe?
She is a very good player but not in the A+ or A tiers of women’s soccer.
A+ would be Hamm, Akers, Lloyd, Morgan, Wambach, and probably Foudy.
And I would have these youngish midfielders from 2019, Kelley O’Hara, Becky Sauerbraun, Hope Solo, and some of 99 starters in the next tier.
Rapinoe would be in the group after that. She is very good but very limited so she needs people to make up for her lack of running so she can coast for 70 minutes before doing something impressive.
On the men’s side, the Eastern European playmaker who barely does anything all game but then gets 2 assists in 8 minutes has been phased out, especially compared to the 90s

In recent years we were on the attack when Press was in and back on our heels when Rap was in.
She is good at being in the right place at the right time, and at penalty kicks, but she isn't a first tier talent.

Hope is arguably the greatest women's GK of all time. Shes definitely in the top tier.
