The USWNT participated in the presidential inauguration.
Megan Rapinoe and some of her teammates voiced over a video of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris released ahead of Wednesday's festivities.
In the clip, the players say they "know about making history" and "representing the country" before stating that "there's nothing that we can't accomplish when we work as a team."
The video starts with shots of Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Ali Krieger, and USWNT captain Becky Sauerbrunn taking in their post-2019 World Cup ticker-tape parade in NYC before transitioning to clips of Biden and Harris.
"We know about making history," they begin, alternating lines. "What it's like when people are counting on us. The future resting on your shoulders. Representing the country."
"We have proved what teamwork can do. Again. And Again. And Again," they added.

The video then depicts Americans of various races, genders, and ages as the national team players announce, "We're Americans. We can do hard things."
"There's nothing that we can't accomplish when we work as a team," they said, joining voices to say the final three words. "Leading by example. This is our nation. This is the people's house."
