Firebrand Rapinoe can crown whirlwind year

Fearless forward expected to complete awards sweep by bagging Ballon d'Or

Megan Rapinoe will complete an unprecedented clean sweep of honors on Monday night if the trailblazing World Cup star and feminist icon adds the Women's Ballon d'Or to her collection of accolades.

The 34-year-old striker was the star of this year's Women's World Cup, scoring six goals as the United States successfully defended the title won in 2015.
