Before Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris became the first woman, first Black person, and first Asian American to become the nation's vice president, Megan Rapinoe and some of her USWNT teammates voiced over a clip for the Biden Inaugural.

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."

"Game on," they added together.
