Carli Lloyd has said this summer's World Cup was "absolutely the worst time of my life," despite the U.S. women's national team winning the tournament.
After playing a starring role in the 2015 World Cup, Lloyd took a backseat in France this summer as the USWNT won the title for the second tournament in a row.
The 37-year-old played in all seven matches but only started one game a 3-0 win over Chile in the group stage in which she bagged a brace.
