Abby Wambach Receives Standing Ovation as She Gets Subbed Off in Final Game

Abby! Abby! Abby!

Tonight, at the 71st minute, Abby Wambach was subbed off and given the opportunity to soak in her final moments  in a game. As she made her way off the pitch, she was greeted with a hug by every single one of her U.S. Women's teammates and coaches. However, the most emotional part came from the Superdome crowd which gave Wambach a standing ovation, as well as chants of "Abby Wambach!" as she roamed the sidelines. 

A moving reception, but we expect nothing less for Wambach.
