But Chastain's not letting this less-than-accurate representation of her ruin this special moment.
"It's not the most flattering," said Chastain at the reception. "But it's nice."

Fortunately, the plaque is set to be redone by the Hall of Fame, according to Yahoo News. Hopefully a more fitting representation of Chastain is underway. Such a soccer icon deserves it.
