It’s been a long road for 35-year-old Carli Lloyd. She entered this game against Mexico on 99 goals in 251 caps for the United States. Now, in a milestone that not a lot of players reach (in goals or in caps), Lloyd has made it a round 100. Watch below:
Yeah, it’s a dinky little poached header, but that’s kind of fitting in a way. Not every goal is a chip from midfield or a crazy outside the box volley. Sometimes it’s just about getting results from the grind, and in 100 goals, there’s going to be world beaters and there’s going to be garbage.
