Abby Wambach |The Header Heard Round the World
-
Narrated by:

By:
She scored 184 international goals in 255 appearances — more than any player, male or female, in football history at the time of her retirement. Nearly a third came with her head.
In the 122nd minute of a Women's World Cup quarter-final against Brazil, with the United States down to ten players and seconds from elimination, Abby Wambach rose above everyone and changed football history. FIFA later voted it the greatest goal in Women's World Cup history.
She won two Olympic gold medals, a World Cup, and became one of the defining figures of the modern game. But it took four World Cups, years of heartbreak, and one unforgettable header before she finally lifted the trophy she wanted most.
