USWNT star Lloyd hints at retirement after brace in bronze medal win vs Australia

The 39-year-old had a record-setting day in what could've been her final U.S. appearance at a major tournament

U.S. women's national team star Carli Lloyd hinted at retirement after her brace against Australia helped clinch an Olympic bronze medal on Thursday.

Lloyd and Megan Rapinoe each scored twice in a 4-3 win over the Matildas, ending a disappointing tournament for the USWNT on a high.

Lloyd, 39, admitted after the game that she could be close to calling time on a storied career that has seen her win two gold medals, two World Cups, and now a bronze medal.
