“Having different people come together and be on a team and win a world...” — Abby Wambach Quote

Having different people come together and be on a team and win a world championship is literally, I think, the definition of being American.

I am not a politician by nature, but I will say I think there need to be more women in FIFA, and I would be open to having those conversations when the time is right.

The truth is, I've been on a team my whole life. I'm the youngest of 7, so I've been training to be an athlete my whole life.

I've always been motivated more by negative comments than by positive ones. I know what I do well. Tell me what I don't do well.

I want to do what I can to give the next generation of athletes added advantages in the game.

If you set yourself the career goal of winning a major championship, then once you win that major championship it's then a question of 'what next?' And that can take quite a while to figure out.

There were times when I didn't think I would even be at the European Championship. so to be walking off the field, having scored the winning goal in front of our home fans, just got too much for me.

You don't forget any time you play for a championship and you don't win it. It's just something that sticks with you.

That's my main goal: to win a world championship.
