“Love You Krieg Dawg” – With Hours Left for NWSL Start, Megan Rapinoe Shares a Heartfelt Message for Teammate Following Saddening Retirement News

Megan Rapinoe is one of the greatest players in the history of US soccer. She has led her side to emphatic glory, thus lifting two World Cups. Besides this, she has also enjoyed a decent amount of success in domestic terms. With her age of around 37, she has a few golden years left to enjoy soccer. However, it seems one of her teammates is already hanging boots as yesterday, Ali Krieger announced her early retirement as this will be her final season of soccer.

This is, of course, sad news for soccer fans, who’ll surely miss the great defender. However, it seems, more than others, Rapinoe is the one who is sad about her teammates’ retirement. This can be proven with her latest social media haul. Just after Krieger made the announcement, Rapinoe went to her Instagram and gave her teammate a brilliant and hysterical message. She posted a series of stories with funny captions as well.

An epic tale of Megan Rapinoe and Ali Krieger

In the first one, Rapinoe is seen typing on the bench and wrote, “*me texting my bulls*it to Ali CONSTANTLY, Kriegy always made me laugh so hard.” In the next story, there’s a USWNT staff holding a giant bottle of champagne, to which she wrote, “When she asked you if you wanted to have a glass of wine with her, this is what she meant.”

In the next picture, she is looking for someone. “ME, EVERY SINGLE DAY. SHE WAS INEXPLICABLE LEFT OUT OF THE WNT FOR TWO YEARS.” The next one had a bit frustrated picture of Megan while facing the press with the caption, “Me having to try to explain it but coming up with ZERO”

Then, in the next one, she looks amazed and proud and wrote, “Seeing one of my best friends playing in the WORLD CUP FINAL” The next story had a picture of Ashlyn, Rapinoe, and Krieger holding their medals and posing with the 2019 World Cup. “SPECIAL. THIS MOMENT. FOR HER. KNOWING WHAT IT TOOK. IYKYK.”

The next story had a picture of Krieger along with her partner, Ashlyn Harris, holding their adopted daughter, Sloane. Rapinoe wrote, “I could choose a thousand more (actually 99.9% aren’t able to be publicly posted) but this is my favorite.”

In the last-but-not-least story, she posted a picture of herself alongside Krieger and Sue Bird, saying, “We love you. Congrats on a one of a kind career. When is vacation and when is our Cul de Sac compound breaking ground?! Love you Krieg Dawg.”

Set to play her last NWSL season

It was quite a folktale from Rapinoe that she dedicated to the Gotham FC player. She’ll surely miss her best friend in action. Krieger announced her decision by posting a video on her Instagram. In the video, she cherished her soccer career and also had some heartwarming words for her supporters.

In the clip, she also said that her focus would be on winning the NWSL championship this year, as it is the only cup she hasn’t won. Krieger insisted all her focus would be on winning the silverware this season. She’ll be looking to clinch three points in the opening game as Gotham FC will lock horns against Angel City in the opening game. Nonetheless, it is an important and historic season for the NWSL, as she’ll be looking to taste glory one last time.
