World Cup Golden Boot winner Megan Rapinoe has demanded women’s football “move to the next step” in discussions about equal pay for its footballers.

Twenty-four hours before winning the World Cup in the United States’ 2-0 defeat of Holland, Rapinoe accused Fifa of disrespecting the women’s game because the World Cup final was scheduled on the same day as the Copa America and Gold Cup finals.

She was also critical of the prize money on offer for the Women’s World Cup, which Fifa president Gianni Infantino announced on Friday would increase to £48million by 2023 – dwarfed by the prize money for the men’s World Cup in Qatar of £350million.

After scoring the first US goal from the spot, Rapinoe commented on the jeers directed at Infantino when he entered the pitch for the trophy presentation, saying: “A little public shame never hurt anybody, right? I’m down with the boos.

“I think everyone is ready for this conversation to move to the next step. I think we’re done with, ‘Are we worth it? Should we have equal pay? Is the market the same?’
