The USWNT concludes their post-Olympics tour with their final home games of 2021 and a farewell to national team legend Carli Lloyd, who will retire from international duty after Tuesday’s game against South Korea. Rose Lavelle and Megan Rapinoe were called up from OL Reign by US head coach Vlatko Andonovski, along with most of the rest of the squad which went to the Tokyo Olympics.
