“It was really tough and challenging to be playing these last several years. I mean to be quite honest, I hated it,” Lloyd told former USWNT goalkeeper Hope Solo on the podcast Hope Solo Speaks. “It wasn’t fun going in. It was only for love of the game, really, for me. I wanted to win and I wanted to help the team, but the culture within the team was the worst I had ever seen it.”

Lloyd played her last match with the national team in October, finishing her career with 134 goals and 64 assists, both in the top five of USWNT history. She helped the squad win the World Cup twice (2015, 2019) to go with two Olympic gold medals (2008, 2012).
