As a long time U.S soccer fan. I am sad to know she no longer on field. My favorite player.

[@serena26130]

I’ve grown up watching Kelly O’Hara and she is still one of the players I look up to. I’m so sad to hear about her retirement but excited for her, and grateful I’ve gotten to see her play 💕💕

[@hahafalseflag5090]

its awesome to see where she's from and getting her flowers..

[@Edwardianschool]

All that hard work shone through in that singular moment when Kelley fiercely charged into the box and redirected Carly Lloyd’s pass to score and cement the win against Germany in the 2015 WWC semi-final. Instantly became one of my favorite players. Thank you Kelley for the amazing memories and for always crushing it while wearing the crest. Nothing but respect.

A Brilliant player, a great personality one of the best ever and this video was far to short to do her justice.

[@sinyilam5469]

3:11” I miss this team line up 🥲

[@aditiisthebest1656]

The good old days.

[@jaimet574]

The water works... Nice backstory of one of our greatest!

[@kycone]

She’s lucky be be one of the gold medal groups. It’s been a minute.

[@diannadahlke7548]

Awesome player

[@daisakarka]

probably my favorite US player. Just gritty and could play any position. Will miss her.

[@corgi_dad]

A great video. Have a soccer playing daughter in the Atlanta area, I recognized a number of things. My daughter played on the fields where Kelley started, and there's a picture of Kelley playing against my daughter's high school. My daughter also got a red card for kicking someone in a game.

[@aditiisthebest1656]

My Hero ❤🤍💙

[@pandastrat]

What a legend 😭 this retirement news hit harder for me than all the rest of the uswnt players who retired so far, my fav player 😢

[@kaaayjams]

My favorite player growing up and still is! 😢 An amazing leader will be missed on the pitch but I’m sure she’ll continue to do phenomenal things! Literally cried the second I saw the notification of her retiring, the best of the best!!! We all love you Kelley! CAPTAIN OHARA! 😭💙

[@USWNT.REIGN.T.V]

It’s sad knowing a player I have watched play for so long. Since I was a little little kid. Everything has an end. I hope she has an amazing life off of soccer and hope she keeps in touch with her teammates.

[@RJ420NL]

Nice 🥰

[@anoopgopikala8237]

Nice ❤❤❤❤❤

[@xvariabledesign]

I "think" I surfed with her during a session in santa cruz. . We were kinda swapping waves.

[@gretchenlittle6817]

I love you Kelley, but really? Chick Fil A? Stockholm syndrome much?

[@tepfeffer]

I love Kelly, but skip Chick-fil-a because they are haters
