Longtime US women's football team defender Julie Ertz contemplates retirement from the international stage after a shock ouster to Sweden in the 2023 FIFA World Cup.
Julie Ertz, a longtime defender for the United States women’s national team, suggested that she might have played her final international game Sunday, August 6, following the Americans’ devastating loss to Sweden in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
“It’s just tough. I feel like it’s just an emotional time. It’s been an absolute ride. I learned so much about myself as a player but even as a person.” Ertz was part of the US team that won the World Cup in 2015 and 2019, and she also played in the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She won a bronze medal in Tokyo.It wasn’t clear that Ertz would be part of the current team after giving birth to her first child, son Madden, last August.
