Abby Wambach: The moments that make up a stellar career
However, now that the podcast has been published, there’s little doubt that US Soccer may be sending her off with at least a gentle nudge out the door.

PARTING NOTE: Wednesday marked the end of a nine-match, cross-country tour meant to celebrate the U.S.’s World Cup victory.
“There’s just something more special about all of us being a part of it and growing it and building it. And if it’s win at all costs, that’s fine”. When she began her USA national team career 14 years ago, America dominated the game with physical strength and athleticism. “That was the one thing on her mind for the last eight years or so”. He says he has, I don’t think that he has. Don’t worry about getting me a goal. I love Jermaine [Jones]…and they’re good teammates, I like having them on the team. A two time Olympic Gold Medalist, World Cup Champions, FIFA Player of the Year, youth champion and the worldwide goal scoring leader.
She added: “I think this experiment that U.S. Soccer has given Jurgen isn’t one that personally I’m into”.
“We really wanted to send her out with a bang”, Lloyd said. That was the game plan.
“She’s one of the special players I’ve met in my career. Just play and it’ll come'”.
Honored by US Soccer before the match, Wambach wore the captain’s armband before departing to a standing ovation from the crowd of 32,950 in the 72nd minute.
“I think it’s pretty fitting that I played 70 minutes and we weren’t able to score a goal”, Wambach joked afterward. The symbolism in it for me is incredible.
China scored in the 58th minute, when forward Wang Shuang volleyed in a bounding cross from Wang Shanshan.
“She scored at crunch moments and led us to victories in many matches”. We feel that yeah because it was her final match she was kind of the center. She is going to work to make that change happen. Look for him to be a big factor in the national team for the next few World Cup cycles. More and more about Abby there.
Japan won 3-1 in the ensuing shoot-out to claim its first Women’s World Cup title, with Wambach the only goalscorer for the US.
But she didn’t just get a medal.
“Tonight was an interesting night”, Morgan said.
“It was very hard for me”.
The match hadn’t even started yet and Abby Wambach already had tears in her eyes. “She’s basically carried the team on her shoulders over the years”.
She doesn’t miss a beat.
After the match, an emotional Wambach addressed the crowd. Teammates made obvious attempts to feed Wambach the ball.

“I love you guys so much”, she said. Upon exiting stage left, Wambach suggested heading to Bourbon Street, an appropriate destination for a storied player whose career deserves a worthy celebration in a city known for such exploits on a daily basis.
