Carli Lloyd said, “It was an amazing 17-year journey that I had playing professional soccer and getting to represent my country. Some fond, fond memories, but I’m enjoying retirement life. I didn’t think retirement life would be this with this opportunity to partake in a 10-day course, Special Ops course. Now, you don’t last those 10 days, so you either medically withdraw, voluntarily withdraw or you make it all the way to the end. So we’re halfway through. Everybody’s got to keep watching to find out how I’ll do.“
Fans are hoping to see Carli Lloyd last till the end of the show. She had been a big part of USWNT. Talking about USWNT, fans are hopeful the team has a chance to potentially create history.
