Carli Lloyd understands the USWNT could make World Cup history in Australia and New Zealand as the first team to ever three-peat. But she doesn't think that will faze this group.
Carli Lloyd attends the FIFA World Cup 2026 Official Brand launch at the Griffith Observatory on May 17, 2023, in Los Angeles.who helped win two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals during her illustrious career, thinks the women from the U.S. will be calm and collected entering this major tournament.
But as Lloyd pointed out, this is what these women play for: The chance to etch their name in World Cup and USWNT history. It comes down to playing, and winning, one game at a time. The 2019 Ballon d’Or Féminin winner as the best female soccer player in the world announced this will be her final World Cup as the 38-year-old winds down her soccer career. She was alongside Lloyd in 2015 and 2019 when they went back-to-back, and many key members of the squad, including Abby Wambach, Shannon Boxx and Christie Rampone, have walked off into the sunset since.
"She has separated herself from everybody," Lloyd said."She’s proven that she can be a goal-scoring machine from various positions on the field. I never like to put a lot of pressure on people – I think there’s already pressure that a player has going into a major tournament. With Sophia being a younger player, the world is kind of putting that pressure on her."
Winning a World Cup, though, is more than just a few players. It will take the entire roster working collectively on the field to get through each opponent, no matter the challenge.
