US soccer legend Carli Lloyd confirmed Thursday that the women’s national team lost “to a bunch of 15-year-old boys.”
As a forward, Lloyd helped her team to two World Cup championships and two Olympic gold medals. She was named FIFA Player of the Year twice before retiring in 2021.
Losing to the teenagers highlighted the undeniable differences between men and women in a world that insists trans athletes have no advantage over their female competitors.
“Yeah, that’s right,” Lloyd told a curious X user. “I know…thousands of people have already brought it up.”
“They were good,” he said.
what’s wrong with you alexi Yes, it’s true. I know…thousands of people have already brought it up. They were good. We actually lost to a Bayern Munich youth team during my career, but then we won the Olympics and the World Cup. So….. https://t.co/nJwfwDJzcM

“Normally when someone mentions this I’ll post one of the pics in a pub where you’re with one of the guys… who’s a foot taller than you,” another user replied. “I mean, come on!”
The young male athlete in the photo was towering over Lloyd.

“Haha,” Lloyd replied. “They should beat us.”
“Bigger, Stronger, Faster!” she exclaimed. “The boys always gave us a run for our money! It was great preparation.”

How BizPac Review reported, Lloyd was vilified by the “woke” left when she refused to kneel during the playing of the national anthem at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
As seven of her fellow starters, including Megan Rapinoe and team captain Becky Sauerbrunn, belted out the “Star Spangled Banner,” Lloyd stood tall, earning the deeply felt love of countless patriotic Americans , many of whom had never seen a women’s soccer match.
Last month, he was again in the headlines, the daily thread reports, when he explained why he decided to stand.
“We were kneeling at the time, it was just before kick-off so it wasn’t necessarily like a protest per se, but I guess everyone in the English Premier League was just kneeling before kick-off” , he told CBS Sports. “So we had done it every game, and I knew it was going to be my last world championship game, so I wanted to stick around.”
While she was “sure” viewers inferred a message from her decision, she said: “I just thought that, we’d done enough kneeling and I just wanted to be in my last world championship game.”
He called out his controversial former teammate Rapinoe in September for kneeling during games in 2016, calling it a distraction for the team.
“I had conversations with Megan [Rapinoe] — like, that’s not a personal thing,” Lloyd said, according to the Daily Wire. “What he’s doing, he distracted our team, he distracted other people from playing.”
“I was also captain at the time, so I told him, it’s not to dampen what you’re trying to achieve with it; it just became, it was all about Megan kneeling and nobody was talking about the reasoning why. It’s what I was trying to get at,” he recalled. “And so I had conversations with Megan during that. And every game we played, it was the camera for her, but no one talked about what the message was about, it was just, she’s kneeling and nobody else is kneeling.” .
Back at X, Lloyd was praised for her honesty about the 15-year-old athletes.
“Great response,” said Adam Tirapelle, Illinois’ NCAA DI wrestling champion. “Men and women are different, no better and no worse, and that’s a good thing.”
“Women’s sports are just as good as men’s sports, just different,” Tirapelle continued. “A lot of respect for not trying to spin it. The more people understand that, the better sports will be for both genders.”
Great answer. Men and women are different, neither better nor worse, and that’s a good thing. Women’s sports are just as good as men’s sports, but they are different. Much respect for not trying to spin it. The more people understand this, the better off sports will be for both sexes.
