Heather O'Reilly: The Best Team I’ve Ever Known

Posted Sep 15, 2016
Heather O'Reilly: "Anyone who has seen me play, or even seen a picture of me play (yes, the “game face”) can see my passion for soccer. What can I say? I wear my heart on my sleeve. Because that sleeve of that jersey, on this team for this country, is sacred to me. And tonight night against Thailand, I will wear it for the last time." (The Players' Tribune)
