Longtime captain Christie Rampone honored before US game (The Associated Press)

Longtime captain Christie Rampone is walking away from the U.S. national women's soccer team hoping to be remembered as a team player whose fondest memories will be of the players who joined her journey, which lasted almost two decades. One of the most decorated U.S. players, Rampone was honored in a pre-game ceremony before the United States played England in a round-robin tournament game on Saturday at Red Bull Arena in her native New Jersey. Accompanied by her two daughters, she watched a video of her international career (1997-2015) and was presented flowers by former teammate Abby Wambach.
