- Former US star walks back criticism of team’s draw with Portugal
- Lloyd’s remarks called out by USA manager, former team-mate
Former USA forward Carli Lloyd has walked back her headline-grabbing criticism of the two-time defending champions following Tuesday’s scoreless draw with Portugal.
Lloyd, who was capped 316 times with the national team and retired in 2021, blasted the team as “uninspiring” following the result, which ensured the team’s second-place finish in Group E behind the Netherlands.
