On the team she once played for, Carli Lloyd did not hold back.
She also didn’t lose sight of where she had come from.
At the 2023 World Cup in Sydney, Australia, Lloyd declared on the FOX halftime show, “I’m going to bring my Jersey bluntness.”
Lloyd accomplished that and more when analyzing the U.S. women’s national team’s first-half performance versus the Netherlands, which left the Americans down 1-0:
Lloyd, a part of the last two World Cup-winning teams, stated, “They look flat.” “I’m doubting their heart,” you said.
Alexei Lalas, another analyst, concurred.
During a longer video that was shared on Twitter, Lloyd stated, “I want to see more fight, more urgency.”
She attended college at Rutgers and played for three National Women’s Soccer League teams as a resident of Delran, New Jersey. Lloyd was on loan to Manchester City for a period of 2018.
Internationally, 40-year-old Lloyd has competed in four World Cups and won two Olympic gold medals, scoring the game-winning goals in both gold-medal matches. She resigned from international play with 316 caps and is most well-known for her hat trick against Japan in the 2015 championship match.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, Lindsey Horan headed in an equalizer.
