Abby Wambach Shows Off Black Eye After Getting Smacked in Face in Win Over Colombia (Photo)

The hand that U.S. soccer star Abby Wambach took to the eye in Saturday’s win over Colombia had some people saying, “That’s going to leave a mark.”

They were right.

One day after shaking off a nasty smack to her face and scoring in a 3-0 win for U.S. Women’s Soccer, Wambach put a photo of her roughed-up mug on Twitter. While the swelling is not as bad as it could be, she does have some new coloring.

Check out a video of the original incident (and another bloody point in Wambach’s career), then see the aftermath in the photo below.
