WATCH THE CLIP

Krieger retired in 2023 after winning the NWSL Championship with Gotham FC alongside Purce and Nighswonger. A USWNT legend, she made over 100 appearances across 13 years, winning two FIFA World Cup titles among a plethora of other awards. It was a brilliant moment for Krieger, who was seemingly shocked, but embraced her former teammates in the celebratory moment.

The USWNT has a semifinal clash on April 6 against Japan in the SheBelieves Cup as they shoot for their next piece of hardware in 2024. With a victory, they would play the winner of Brazil vs Canada in the final.
