Thank you @CarliLloyd for sharing your impeccable career full of skill, unapologetic desire and care for the USA crest! Humbly watching a legend take her last strides across the best stage, a canvas of plush green grass. And my nieces get to be there to witness it. ❤️ 🇺🇸 ⚽️.

Stepping up to take this shot will win me the ability to hug my granddaughters for the first time since the younger was born. it’s been more than a year&many things have been missed but the wait will have been worth it to be safe. This shot is definitely as impactful as 1999.

I’m wondering who has a problem w/people who battle to be their best? It’s not to make others look or feel bad.Young girls/women have been demurring their greatness for too long so as not to make waves. Be STRONG, DO You! Everyone please see the benefits of persistence/dedication.

To anyone covering soccer (Aka NCAA women’s soccer 2nd round at UNC) announcers should know that there are 11 players on a team so a 3-5-1 formation is inaccurate.We have enough battles, shouldn’t have our own broadcasters getting stuff wrong.Please care more or try harder.

Soccer is played on a giant field w/22 players over 90+ minutes BUT the most critical parts are the minute details that change the course of a match ie; tight marking in the box, communication(including listening), mentality in start/finish of halves, technical ability on goal.

What a disappointing result for the u23’s. Sadness is truly my emotion. I WANT soccer,not women’s soccer or men’s soccer, but ALL of US soccer to reign supreme but ownership of all the little moments is necessary,on&off the field. Let’s make tomorrow our first day towards better.

Please remember when thinking about how the @USMNT finished, how many teams were knocked out before this stage, then calculate how many teams didn’t qualify &have NEVER made it to the round of 16. So many positives to use as fuel for the future.
