How Carli Lloyd Became a Soccer Superstar | Just Women's Sports Podcast

One of the greatest to ever do it sits down with Kelley O’Hara to talk about her roller-coaster journey to the top of the soccer world.
One of soccer’s most iconic players sits down with Kelley O’Hara to talk about her roller-coaster journey to the top of her sport. Carli Lloyd speaks candidly about the highs and the lows that have defined her career, from getting cut from a youth national team to her legendary hat-trick in the 2015 World Cup final. The USWNT star discusses why she stood by Hope Solo following her controversial benching at the 2007 World Cup, what it meant to score the gold medal-winning goal at the 2008 Olympics and again in 2012, how she handled missing a PK in the 2011 World Cup, her dominant run through the 2015 tournament, and what people misunderstood about her comments during the 2019 World Cup. Carli also discusses how quarantine inspired her to reconnect with her family after 12 years apart and the hard-won lessons she’s learned as both an athlete and a person.

I have to say, as a former journalist for a half century, that these are some of the best interviews I've ever seen. Well done.

[@josephineolweny9117]

I've actually watched the whole thing. Carly is the real goat yet down to earth. Kelly is an awesome host.

[@JoshuaFazeli]

The quality that goes into these interviews, Kelly, is just astounding. Really happy I came across this! ✨🙏🏻✨

[@mercuryfever392]

When she said she had never really prioritized practicing taking PKs it reminded me of how Tony DiCicco was making the players practice taking them. He had them so prepared for that 1999 world cup.

[@ronaldlasang9593]

communication very scarce.

[@paulhetherington3854]

Is it, Mohykn LLOYD?

[@dantemagdaluyo890]

Megan intentionally missed her penalty kick in the World Cup, to eliminate the US. She laughed after the miss.

[@ronaldlasang9593]

realy not consistent communication.

[@KLAKLAWES]

E' BUIO * Lloyd is the kinda girl that is super competitive, so in the other way possessive and also into moda To really understand her and her mood u have to watch the shoes and how she is dressed So maybe when she goes out, she is like the boss who teaches and has controll of the situation The important thing are disco, so u have to look hoW she moves and how she looks at u The same thing is in soccer, movements and so on.... BUT * She is not the most complete girl in the game * She maybe works hard to get better/results * I dont like at all her personal coach * She waits the right moment to put it into ur axx * She suffer so much of competition that sometimes is like she waits the right moment to see u die and that come into the field and shine * So her typical CAPITALIST MENTALITY IS MY DEATH, U LIVE... and viceversa... I LIVE WHEN I SEE U DIE * So she can maybe be ultra conservative in political arguments * But in facts she is everything but that * She is understanding/social when she sees someone that has troubles that make her suffer, so in this case she can be very supportive * VAMP

[@bkirstie]
