JJ retiring without a send off game so she could raise her son in Arizona with her husband.
And Pinoe retiring from the USWNT in September instead of trying to make every single fall friendly about her.
Somehow makes Carli Lloyd look even stupider for saying that the current players on this team are only doing this for “fame” and “money” after she forced US Soccer to throw her a 6 game farewell tour.
Hats off to Alyssa Naeher (saved some penalties, made a penalty. Lady liberty shit), Naomi Girma (I would trust her with the nuclear codes. Such a great tournament for her), Julie Ertz (beast mode was activated the whole tournament), Emily Sonnett (she was everywhere and everything when she played), Lindsey Horan (truly played like a captain should), Rose Lavelle (an actual bombshell for opposing midfields), Lynn Williams (breaking back lines left and right), Kristi Mewis (per minute had the largest impact lmao and also deserved more playing time) Crystal Dunn (immense offensively and defensively when not slipping on the very wet field) and also all of our youngsters and debut players who figured it out in the end and will absolutely carry this team into the next generation. And also shout out to all the players who were absolutely talented enough to play in this tournament we just have a shit coach who doesn’t believe in subs.
