The first of many heroic moments for came in the quarterfinals of the 2011 FIFA in the eastern German city of Dresden.It was there, at a stadium named after Nazi Olympic athlete Rudolf Harbig that one of America's most iconic women's soccer players was on the pitch with her United States team desperate for a goal.Down 2-1 to a talented Brazil side in the 122nd minute, a then-25-year-old Rapinoe hit a long cross into the box with her weak foot that found the head of Abby Wambach. The striker turned it in and sent the game to penalties - which the USA won, thanks in part to Rapinoe converting her spot kick.
