NEW YORK, Aug 17 — Two-times Women’s World Cup winner Carli Lloyd, one of the greatest women’s football players to ever grace the game, has announced her retirement, US Football said on Monday.
“Every single day I stepped out onto the field, I played as if it was my last game. I never wanted to take anything for granted, especially knowing how hard it is to get to the top, but even harder to stay at the top for so long.” Known for her consistent production throughout her career, Lloyd, who served as US women’s national team captain in the latter part of her career, scored 128 international goals and is tied for fifth on the all-time list.
Considered by many to be the most impactful big-game player to feature for the USWNT, Lloyd scored in all three Olympic medal games in which she played.
