U.S. Soccer Star Carli Lloyd Just Had The Best Week Ever

U.S. Soccer Star Carli Lloyd Just Had The Best Week Ever U.S. Women?s National Team midfielder, Carli Lloyd, who during the 2015 World Cup kicked her way into the record books, has her sights set on a new goal ? Olympic gold. Technically, it is an accomplished goal as the national team won last three Olympic soccer tournaments. However, in the history of women?s professional soccer, no team has won the World Cup and followed up with Olympic gold. If there was any wonder who would lead the national team into its new phase after the world?s all-time leading scorer, Abby Wambach, retired last year ? look no further than Lloyd. This week, she was voted as the FIFA Women?s World Player of the Year making Lloyd the third American behind Mia Hamm (2001, 2002) and Wambach (2012) to win the prestigious award.
