Retiring U.S. soccer legend Abby Wambach wants to be forgotten.

A new ad from Gatorade features the 35-year-old clearing out her locker and delivering a pointed farewell message about relinquishing the spotlight to the next generation of stars.

Wambach played her last game Wednesday night, captaining the U.S. Women's National Team in an exhibition match against China at the Superdome in New Orleans. The U.S. lost 1-0, breaking its home winning streak of 104 matches, but Wambach still left the field to a standing ovation.
