    Why Megan Rapinoe could be the GOAT

    Rapinoe's 2019 was one of the great individual years: World Cup winner, Golden Ball, Golden Boot and Ballon d'Or. Her creativity and big-game nerve, along with her influence off the pitch, made her one of the sport's defining figures.

    Megan Rapinoe head to head

    How the ranking works. Every head-to-head vote is a result, like a game. The standings use a Bradley–Terry model, the same idea behind chess ratings: beating a highly rated legend counts for more than beating a long shot. Ratings are shown on a chess-style scale centred on 1500.

    One vote per matchup per person. If you see a pairing again in another session your new answer replaces the old one, so nobody can stuff the ballot by repeating a matchup.

    Anonymous by design. No account needed. A quick bot check from Cloudflare runs once when you arrive, and your votes are tied to a random ID kept in your browser, not to your name or email. Privacy policy.
