WOW! Thank you Carli.

One of the best sports articles I've ever read. Of course I'm not objective, I'm a HUGE Carli Lloyd fan.

Watched her in some recent Friendlies. What a player still. She is great with the ball, great feet & shot. Great passer. Great without the ball & in space. Her timing & runs are exquisite. Great in the air. Great instincts, strength & toughness. You go Carli.

"In Tuesday’s opening 13-0 rout of Thailand, Lloyd entered in the 57th minute and scored in stoppage time. She became the oldest American woman to score at a World Cup and joined Germany’s Birgit Prinz as the only players to score in five straight World Cup games."

“I think I was the most excited on the last goal we scored, because that was Carli Lloyd. And I know all the history and all the background of that player to get to that moment, and what that meant,” Ellis said on the eve of Sunday’s game. “So I think that’s important to put that human element in this as well. It might seem a score line to you, but it’s also years and years of work. ... I didn’t know the score, I wasn’t celebrating the goal. I was celebrating Carli.”

“I’ve said this, whether Carli comes off the bench or starts the game, she is a game-changer. What I know is that Carli will always put the team first,” Ellis said.

Quite a story, quite a person. Too bad so many talented kids are just too lazy or unmotivated to take the same journey.
