In a frenetic Women’s World Cup final, Carli Lloyd pounced on a loose pass midway inside her own half. The US was 3-0 up inside the opening 15 minutes in its match against Japan, and the game was being played at a frantic pace.
But for Lloyd, surrounded by the chaos around her, it looked like time stood still as she took a touch past an onrushing defender. Then, in a matter of milliseconds, the US Women’s National Team star looked up and launched a half-field shot towards the Japanese goal. “It was like nothing else around me was penetrating,” Lloyd explained to CNN Sport. “It was me, the field, my teammates, the ball, and that was all I was thinking about.
” The team made its way to the BC Place stadium in Vancouver and, despite the confidence flowing through the team four years prior, Lloyd said there was a different feeling altogether this time. “When we got to that match, there was just something different about our team, the way that we were feeling. We were light. We were ready. We were charged up. We were just excited for the moment.
