When asked about her future with the USWNT following Thursday’s bronze-medal victory, Lloyd said she “had a different mindset going into this one.”
“I haven’t made any official announcements yet, but obviously, I am at the tail end of my career. Physically, I feel really good, but at some point, I have to hang up the boots and live life.”
