Abby Wombach's 'Forget Me' Is a #PRWin We Should All Remember

Who knew a commercial could be a mic drop?!

Abby Wombach has taken the world by storm.

She officially leaves U.S. Women’s National Team in Soccer with the world record for international goals, 184. By a woman or man. Wombach, 35, really was that good. This week, USWNT played China, and lost 1-0. The score seemed to get lost with the hoopla of Wombach’s retirement (and respective standing ovation).

Her illustrious resume includes two Olympic gold medals and a World Cup. She was the U.S. Soccer Federation’s Athlete of the Year on six occasions, and in 2012, she was named the FIFA Player of the Year.

And for that, she would like everyone to forget her.
