PARIS — The U.S. women’s national team has four days between its first and second World Cup matches. The players are using that time to rest, recover and prepare for Chile.
But if it were up to U.S. veteran Carli Lloyd, they would play again immediately.
“Yeah, I’d actually like to play tomorrow. I think all of us would,” Lloyd, 36, said during a news conference Friday before the first training session in Paris. “This window right now is four days in between, so it’s tough, ya know? But as you get deeper into the tournament, which we hope we do, those days are gonna come in handy for rest days.
