Following the USWNT’s miserable loss to Sweden during the Round of 16 — the first time the U.S. had ever lost before the semifinals, Lloyd felt the problems ran deep.
The USWNT has serious problems, and Carli Lloyd has thoughts.
Lloyd, a former USWNT superstar who won two World Cups, Olympic golds and FIFA Player of the Year Awards, has been one of the most outspoken critics of this year’s team.— the first time the U.S. had ever lost before the semifinals — Lloyd said she thought the team’s problems ran deep. “It used to be that everybody feared the U.S. and the U.S. was going in confident to these tournaments, but I think when you win, it’s easy to get comfortable. I think this is a humble moment for the program, the players, the coaching staff, and it’s a wake-up call for the entire program because it’s easy to turn a blind eye when the senior team is winning,” Lloyd said on FOX Sports.
“But this stems down at the youth level. The last time there was a youth World Cup championship that was won, it came in 2012, and that was with [Julie] Ertz, [Crystal] Dunn, [Kristie] Mewis, Morgan Brian."This is a humble moment for the program—for the players, for the coaching staff—and it's a wake-up call for the entire program."
