Carli Lloyd Criticizes Pulisic After US Exit

After a 4-1 defeat to Belgium in the round of 16 at Seattle Stadium, U.S. women's legend Carli Lloyd voiced disappointment in Christian Pulisic’s performance. Lloyd said the team “was chasing, tentative, scared, just not confident on the ball” and that she expected more from Pulisic, who failed to score and was hampered by injuries.

Despite the U.S. scoring ten goals in the first four games, the men’s side could not break the round‑of‑16 barrier. Lloyd highlighted the need for the team to rise to big moments and to leverage the World Cup’s growing fan base for the sport’s future. tr-sport.click
