Carli Lloyd joins Heather O’Reilly’s US Women’s team for 7-v-7 TST event
Carli Lloyd accomplished just about everything before retiring in 2021. She won two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals and appeared over 300 times for the United States women’s national team.
“When I retired, I was done; I was tapped out mentally, physically,” Lloyd told The Equalizer this week. “I had nothing left in the tank. It was one of those things where that’s all I did for 34 years. So, I really didn’t have a huge itch to play pickup or just be around it.”
That changed recently.
It was December, about two months after giving birth to her daughter, Harper, that Carli Lloyd started to feel the itch to play again.
