On Thursday afternoon Jill Ellis officially named the 23 players she’s taking with her to the 2019 Women’s World Cup. The announcement comes just under five weeks from the start of the tournament, which kicks off in France on June 7 and concludes on July 7.
Sky Blue FC and New Jersey’s own Carli Lloyd, the “Hat Trick Hero,” will once again be representing the U.S. on the world’s biggest stage.
This will be the 36-year-old midfielder’s fourth consecutive World Cup tournament that Lloyd will be competing in, her first being in 2007.
