Abby Wambach visszavonult

Abby Wambach, az amerikai női válogatott csapatkapitánya és egyben történetének legsikeresebb játékosa visszavonult. A csapattársak és a szurkolók elárasztották a közösségi médiát a visszavonulásával kapcsolatos véleményekkel. A legtöbben arról beszéltek, hogy Abby távozása bepótolhatatlan űrt hagy maga után a csapatban.

Wambach visszavonulására a Gatorade egy reklámkampányt fűzött fel, aminek a nyitó akkordja az alábbi, szerintem elképesztően hatásosra sikerült reklámspot volt:

Abby Wambach egyébként minden idők legsikeresebb nemzetközi játékosa, sem nő, sem pedig férfi nem lőtt annyi gólt nemzeti mezben, mint ő. Az 1980. június 2-án született játékos ifjúsági éveit a Rochester Spirit csapatában töltötte, egyetemi karrierjét pedig a Florida Gators színeiben töltötte el. 2001. szeptember 9-én mutatkozott be az amerikai válogatottban és a 15 éves nemzetközi pályafutása alatt 254 meccsen lépett pályára, mely alatt 184 gólt lőtt. A játékos össze válogatott szereplését és gólját a poszt végén található táblázaton lehet nyomon követni.

Az amerikai női válogatott egyébként idei utolsó mérkőzésén - ami Wambach búcsúmérkőzése volt - hatalmas meglepetésre 1-0 arányú vereséget szenvedett Kína ellen. Ezzel egy nagyon hosszú, 104 mérkőzés óta tartó hazai veretlenségi sorozat szakadt meg.
