In celebration of its Centennial anniversary, U.S. Soccer released its All-Time Women’s National Team Best XI. Abby Wambach received the second most votes for a forward, only garnering fewer votes than unanimously selected Mia Hamm.

Two other active players join Wambach on the Best XI in Christie Rampone and Alex Morgan, the youngest selection. Out midfielder, Megan Rapinoe earned six votes. Take solace knowing it would have been a different story had they done best hair.
In addition to making the team, Wambach’s 2011 goal against Brazil in the FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinal match was voted the best moment in U.S. Soccer history which automatically makes it the best moment in gay sports history.

“Out midfielder, Megan Rapinoe earned six votes. Take solace knowing it would have been a different story had they done best hair.” — LOL! True! Go Abby, she’s a living legend! And Captain Rampone, I wish I’m as strong as she is when I reach that age!
Interesting that the Best XI are almost all 99ers
I was thinking the same thing.
Abby Wambach is number one in my heart.
Oh wow that is awesome. She is such an amazing athlete and person. Good for her.
