Hello, as this article is directly related to List of international goals scored by Abby Wambach, please consider sharing your input in this discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international goals scored by Abby Wambach Hmlarson ( talk) 17:56, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
I put this here before but clearly someone took offense and removed it: Is there any information as to Wambach's sexuality? I personally don't care what her orientation is one way or another, simply for the sake of improving the article. 74.69.121.132 ( talk) 01:55, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
There reads: All together, she has played in 29 matches and scored 22 goals at these five international tournaments.
However,
FIFA Women's World Cup#Top Scorers Of All Time has 22 goals credited to her already in World Cup. That would make 22+9 =31 goals altogether.

Here is a photo we may want to use when a World Cup 2015 section is created. Taken at one of the "warm up" games leading up to the WC. — Noah 16:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the work on this article, well done. Pictures are good. Click on 'images' under a Google-search for more pictures. -- AstroU ( talk) 22:21, 23 June 2015 (UTC) -- PS: I'll be 'watching' and helping edit.
Can someone add: "2.2.7 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup" to be current? [1] -- AstroU ( talk) 00:42, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Although she has stated that this previous World Cup would be her last, she has yet to rule out retirement from the national team. Therefore, please remove "2015" as her last year playing for the national team; it should be "2001-". Babolat9292 ( talk) 14:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Done you did not cite a source but
Abby Wambach not ready to make decision on retirement justifies your statement. -

Wihout explanation, User:Hmlarson removed and replaced a very reliable source ( Portland Tribune) verifying Wambach's full name, and reinserted the names of the four women who previously won it. [2] I kept the very good source Hmlarson added to verify the name, but re-added the original source. [3] In terms of including the names of all the prior female winners of the award Wambach won, it's simply unecessary; this article is about Wambach. That's why I changed it to "Wambach was named the 2012 FIFA World Player of the Year, becoming the fourth woman ever, and the first American since Mia Hamm 10 years earlier, to win the award." Dirroli ( talk) 21:53, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
"Carli Lloyd delivered the armband to Wambach as she entered the final against Japan with eleven minutes remaining, and Wambach in turn passed it over to Rampone as she entered at the 43rd minute"
One of these is wrong. You can't enter a game in the 79th minute and then hand the armband to someone else in the 43rd minute. 24.137.115.238 ( talk) 01:39, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
