Christie Rampone — who also goes by her maiden name, Christie Pearce — remained on the USWNT until her retirement in 2017. During her time on the international circuit, she competed in four more Women's World Cup tournaments (2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015), became a four-time Olympian (2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012), played professionally for the New York Power, and was the captain of New Jersey's Sky Blue FC.
The longest-serving captain of the USWNT, she's also the oldest woman to play in a World Cup tournament. In an interview with Four Two Four, Pearce said that she now plans to focus on coaching, and she noted that although she's unsure what level of competition she'd like to coach, she would "love to start as an assistant coach and see what presents itself, whether it's college or pro or at the youth level. But I'd like to stay in the game."
