NEW YORK — Nine days after the 2019 World Cup final, Carli Lloyd will turn 37 years old. The Delran, N.J., native is older, erudite and maintains the characteristic that differentiated the two-time FIFA World Player of the Year throughout her distinguished career – a legendary work ethic often fueled by her detractors.
Lloyd embarks on her fourth and final World Cup when the United States women’s national team plays for another world title in France, beginning with a June 11 group stage match against Thailand.
“I’d like to say that I’m 36 – soon to be 37 – but I feel I have the body of a 26-year old,” Lloyd told Pro Soccer USA at the USWNT media day event Friday in New York City.
