NEW ORLEANS — Abby Wambach isn't sentimental. She's goal-oriented — and not just because she'll retire as soccer's greatest goal scorer of all time Wednesday after the U.S. national team faces China at the Superdome.
Wambach likes to get things done. The 184 goals she has booked are surely a testament to that. As her former teammate Julie Foudy said, Abby Wambach is about purpose. She likes to see the meaning in things. She likes to give meaning to things.
