Marta is simply timeless, while some of her contemporaries like Christine Sinclair and Alex Morgan are retiring, Marta keeps balling. The Brazilian has been rewarded for her loyalty and is part of an Orlando Pride team that will run away with the NWSL Shield this season. She doesn’t have to do all of the work, and watching her thrive in a complementary role has allowed her to enjoy more success. The forward has more room to be herself, like this vintage goal.
Marta shields one defender and then takes on another with a quick step over and hesitation move to beat the second defender. Then the GOAT finished with a superb strike to the far corner like we’ve seen her do repeatedly. It’s great to see Marta still…
