World Cup: Twitter loved Megan Rapinoe’s goal celebration against France

Facing their toughest test of the summer so far, the USWNT got off to a perfect start Friday in Paris against tournament favorite France, as captain Megan Rapinoe scored on a free kick to give the Americans an early lead.

Rapinoe whipped a low bouncing ball into a crowded penalty area, and with the French goalkeeper unsighted, the ball sneaked through and into the net.

Rapinoe ran to the corner and spread her arms in a triumphant pose she’s used in the past, which looks identical to WWE star Randy Orton’s signature pose. Team USA fans and WWE fans alike went nuts on social media.
