Brazil is leaving the Women's World Cup after a surprise draw with Jamaica, which became the first Caribbean nation to advance to the tournament's knockout rounds. It was the final World Cup for Marta, an icon of the sport.
as a player for the sixth and last time, Marta embraced Jamaica captain Khadija “Bunny” Shaw.and Shaw shared emotional words with one hand resting over her heart and the other holding Marta’s hand.
“She just said that she’s watched our journey, ever since we qualified,” Shaw said, “and she credits us because every time we got knocked down, we still get up and keep pushing.” Brazil failed to advance out of the group stage for the first time since 1995, and Marta couldn’t capitalize on the chance to become the first player, woman or man, to score in six World Cups.
“Especially because it was their first World Cup and it’s just the beginning — I won’t play in another World Cup, but they will have other opportunities,” she said. “So I had to stop lamenting. It’s football, we tried from start to finish, we tried to score but the ball didn’t want to go in.” On the eve of what became her final World Cup game, Marta shed tears as she recalled what it was like two decades ago when she started out.“I always said that the World Cup wasn’t just about Marta, the World Cup belonged to the national team,” she said. “We started it together and ended it together. Winning or losing, it makes no difference. I’ll stay with the good times, with the work that’s been done so far.
