United States midfielder Mix Diskerud hit back at Abby Wambach on Thursday, a day after the retired U.S. women's star criticised men's coach Jurgen Klinsmann for bringing in "a bunch of these foreign guys."
"Wow Abby," Diskerud wrote on Instagram. "I guess there are pros and cons in limiting the base for selection."
Wambach, the all-time leading international goal scorer, told the Bill Simmons podcast that she believed Klinsmann was not spending enough time developing domestic youth programs while giving playing time to foreign-born players and dual nationals.
Diskerud has an American mother but was born and raised in Norway.
