Ertz, 31, had already hinted at her retirement at this summer's World Cup after the United States fell to Sweden on penalties in the Round of 16, tearfully telling reporters it was likely her final match wearing the team crest. She made it official Thursday.
"I gave everything I had to the sport that I love," she said in a statement announcing her retirement. "With that I can walk away with no regrets because while I gave soccer every ounce of myself, soccer gave me even more, and for that I'll always be thankful."
