My Take
Abby Wambach is a genuine icon of the sport. Her 184 international goals rank second all-time across any gender, a staggering number powered by a forward's instinct and some of the most fearsome headers the game has seen. I love that she went out on top, lifting the 2015 World Cup as a fitting final act. But what elevates her beyond the stats is her second life: as a podcaster, coach, and outspoken advocate, she kept fighting off the pitch as fiercely as she did on it. She was never just a scoring machine; she's a leader, and she earns my total respect.
