Carli Lloyd of the USA lifts the FIFA Women's World Cup Trophy

The United States women's soccer team defeated the Netherlands, 2-0, to earn their second consecutive World Cup. The win gave them the most championships out of any country (four) and capped off their rise into becoming global sensations. Some fans in France decided to celebrate the United States' victory sending a message to one of the team's biggest American rivals.

Fox News reporter Greg Palkot was in Lyon, France to cover the festivities. When he ventured into a local bar hosting USWNT fans, a man noticed the camera and affiliation. He promptly started a "Fuck Trump" chant.

During the tournament, top scorer Megan Rapinoe was asked if she was excited about the opportunity to go to the White House.

"I’m not going to the fucking White House," Rapinoe responded. "We're not going to be invited."

Donald Trump insisted that he planned to invite the team whether they win or lose, but Megan "should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!"

....in our Country’s history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House. I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet....

....invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!

Even though USWNT did finish the job, Rapinoe made it clear that "not many if any" of her teammates would be going to the White House despite the president's invite.
