Carli Lloyd is an absolute soccer rock star. And then the U.S. Women’s National Team’s two-time World Cup champ showed up to the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice and casually kicked a 55-yard field goal that left fans in awe.
Lloyd is a big Eagles fan — she gave them a “Fly Eagles Fly” shoutout at the World Cup parade in July — and, in an interview with Planet Futbol TV on Thursday, she said the team invited her to their joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens.
She explained how her viral field goal came about: “I was casually just, you know, wanting to bang in a few field goals because I’m a competitor and I actually really enjoy doing it.
