Abby Wambach's last professional soccer game is tonight. After today, Wednesday, December 16, 2015, we will never see Abby Wambach play in a soccer match that matters, barring something drastic.

Since May, the U.S. federal prosecutors have disclosed several invesigations of corruption by officials and partners related to FIFA, leading to the arrest of very important names from the confederations of CONCACAF, CAF, and CONMEBOL.

July 11th, 2006: Street cleaners are still working on tidying up Berlin’s fan mile after more than half a million Germans had gathered to salute Die Mannschaft on their improbable run to third place in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Roberto Carlos podría ser el mejor lanzador de tiros libres de todos los tiempos en la historia del fútbol. Esta no es una opinión impopular ni poco común.
Pero Roberto se ha ido, ejerciendo su profesión en el exilio futbolístico en la India, con sus habilidades erosionadas por los vientos y las arenas del tiempo. Y así, mientras estas cosas pasan, debemos buscar un heredero.
Collegiate soccer programs began to truly emerge sometime in the 1980s. For women, the passage of Title IX opened up opportunities for female athletes that were only available to men playing football (the oblong type) and basketball. Men’s soccer programs have been around significantly longer (the first NCAA championship was played in 1959), but consistently take a backseat to padded football and madness of basketball.
Very soon, Carli Lloyd wil be able to add the title "published author" to her already impressive list of accolades.
Lloyd signed a book deal with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for her memoir, set to be released later in 2016.
The book is expected to cover Lloyd's soccer career, including the time she almost quit the sport entirely.
