As she celebrated, she pointed to her boots, sporting a gender equality symbol.

Her boot deal expired last year and the star of women’s football has since refused to reach a new agreement, stressing that sponsors weren’t offering what they would offer male athletes.

Instead of reaching an agreement, she has opted to sport a symbol for gender equality on her boots during the World Cup.
