This week, Abby added another impressive mark: she’s now the all-time leading scorer in soccer, and for both men and women. Ms. Wambach got this in a “friendlies” game against South Korea, scoring four goals in the pitch in Harrison, N.J last Wednesday, June 19th.
The reaction on Twitter was tremendous as “Abby Wambach” became a Twitter trend. Here are some of the tweets:
