The United States co-captain responds to her former teammate calling the USWNT ‘uninspiring’ following its reaction to Tuesday’s draw with Portugal
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Co-captain Lindsey Horan brushed aside criticism leveled at the United States by former teammate-turned-pundit Carli Lloyd, calling it outside noise.
Lloyd called her former team “uninspiring” and criticized players for dancing and laughing with fans after the match in Auckland on Tuesday. The next day, Lloyd walked back the comments a bit: “I was very critical of the team last night. I had some time to reflect, to sleep on it and I want people to understand that I care deeply about this team.”“It’s kind of frustrating for me to hear, especially knowing this team and knowing how much we put into every single game, how much preparation we put into every single game, seeing our trainings, seeing how hard we work,” Horan said.
It’s true the United States has not been as dominant at this World Cup as in past tournaments, with just a single win and two draws in the group stage. But the Americans nevertheless have moved on to the knockout round.
