While the U.S. women’s national team had a disappointing showing at the 2023 World Cup, the entire team has to be proud of what Julie Ertz accomplished in her legendary career.
On Thursday, Ertz and the USWNT announced that the two-time World Cup champion would be retiring from professional soccer. Ertz made 122 appearances with the USWNT, which included a breakout performance at the 2015 World Cup in Canada and a repeat title in 2019. She joins Megan Rapinoe as the latest USWNT legend to call it a career, signaling an end to the most-accomplished generation in USWNT history.
