SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The announcement that the upcoming Women's World Cup will be the last for U.S. women's national team midfielder Megan Rapinoe was, to a degree, expected. But for U.S. teammate Crystal Dunn, the news still hit hard.
Prior to Saturday's training session ahead of a friendly against Wales on Sunday, Dunn fought back tears as she described what Rapinoe -- who will retire from professional soccer at the conclusion of the NWSL season as well -- meant to her.
"I just love her so much," Dunn said about Rapinoe.
