The player with more international goals than any man or woman, Abby Wombach, has officially retired from soccer, playing her final game with a loss against China. Abby scored goals in every Olympics (2004 and 2012) and World Cup (2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015).
According to her, the thing that might have messed up the American team in its 1-0 loss to China at the New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome, was trying to get her a goal. Her teammate relentlessly tried to aid her score a final goal and might have actually messed up the Americans’ attack against China.
Despite the loss to China, the good spirited Abby is quoted to have said, “I’m celebrating now not just my career but all the chances I’ve had with my team and my teammates. I’m happy I kept it together (on the field), but when we got in the locker room it was a little different. But they were all happy tears. I’m not questioning my decision to retire.” Abby is at peace and we would like to wish her all the best.
