And I never looked back. I still feel the exact same way.' 'The other day, someone just said to us, 'Oh, you guys, these guys just met, you look like you're in love,'' Press continued. 'And I'm like, 'No, it's been eight years.''

Who is Tobin Heath? US women's soccer legend and two-time Olympic medallist retires after heartbreaking injury battle

The 37-year-old revealed the news on "The RE-CAP Show" podcast with her wife, former teammate Christen Press, breaking down as she described grieving the loss of her 'greatest gift'.

"I can't play soccer anymore, even casually," she confessed, describing the heartbreak when a ball rolls to her now, and 'my ability isn't there'. Heath leaves as a USWNT legend with 181 appearances, 36 goals, and trophy cases full of hardware: two World Cup titles (2015, 2019), two Olympic golds (2008, 2012), and two NWSL championships with Portland Thorns. Fans will forever remember her curling goal in the 2015 World Cup final against Japan, the exclamation point in a 5-2 victory. Teammates called her America's "most skillful player," famous for nutmegging opponents and street-soccer flair . Her career spanned clubs in France (PSG), England (Manchester United, Arsenal), and the NWSL, where she scored a championship-winning goal on a broken foot in 2013. Though heartbroken, Heath stays busy co-hosting "The RE-CAP Show" with Press and running their RE—INC lifestyle brand. She made history this year as the only woman in FIFA's technical study group for the men's Club World Cup. Retirement also makes her eligible for the National Soccer Hall of Fame, with voting expected soon.
