Carli Lloyd had an extremely accomplished amateur and professional soccer career. Her résumé includes two FIFA Women’s World Cup championships and two Olympic gold medals, in addition to two FIFA Player of the Year awards.
So it probably should be no surprise that Lloyd has no insecurity or shame about anything that happened during her nearly 30 years on the pitch. That would explain her candor when she was asked on X (formerly Twitter) about the U.S. women’s national team once losing to “a bunch of 15-year-old boys.”
“Yes, it’s true,” Lloyd responded. “I know… thousands of people have already brought that up. They were good.”
