Carli Lloyd 会談 about those field goals, and her career

The sheer attention Carli Lloyd got for her field goals while dropping by an NFL training (軍の)野営地,陣営 shows how far women's サッカー has come.

Lloyd see it as something bigger.

The World Cup 勝利者 has been kicking - and making - field goals for several years now.

But she was honestly surprised by the reaction when she nailed a 55-yarder at the Philadelphia Eagles training (軍の)野営地,陣営 last summer. The ビデオ went viral and a couple of NFL teams even reached out.

"I think that the conversation has been changing," she said. "There's been so much talk about so many successful women, whether it's politics, companies, or 競技者s. I just think there's been a 広大な/多数の/重要な buzz around that, and that's why it blew up. There's all this conversation about breaking 障壁s and 存在 able to have the 適切な時期 - the same 適切な時期s that men have -- and it is 広大な/多数の/重要な. I had a lot of messages of young girls 説, `I want to play in the NFL now,' which was really 冷静な/正味の."

"I know that after I kicked my field goal at the Eagles' practice, the 量 of 女性(の) kickers, whether in high school or college, sending ビデオs or tweeting at me, it was incredible. You know, I had no idea that there were that many 女性(の) kickers out there," she said.

Probably best known for her hat trick in the U.S. victory over Japan to 勝利,勝つ the 2015 World Cup in Canada, Lloyd is now 37 and in the final 段階 of her career.

She had a more 限られた/立憲的な 役割 last summer when the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs won the World Cup in フラン. But almost in spite of that, and her age, Lloyd had one of her best years and led the team with 16 goals. She's 得点する/非難する/20d in three straight games, and in seven of her last eight.

She said she's adjusted with a more cerebral approach.

"The 疑問, and the people 説 I'm too old, and my 状況/情勢 with not playing much the previous couple of years, yeah, that lit a 解雇する/砲火/射撃 under me. That 動機づけるd me. But you've got to have 内部の 動機づけ 同様に. And that's what I've always had," she said. "I know that I've got a lot left to 令状 in this last 一時期/支部. And as of now, I'm feeling the best that I've ever felt. I feel like everything in my career is in sync because the game has slowed 負かす/撃墜する a little bit for me, because I've become a smarter player and a more efficient player."

The 部隊d 明言する/公表するs is 現在/一般に in Houston fo r group play in the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying tournament. Lloyd started in the team's opener, 得点する/非難する/20ing a goal in 停止 time that gave the Americans a 4-0 victory over Haiti on Tuesday.

The 部隊d 明言する/公表するs plays パナマ on Friday. Eight teams in two groups are 争う to reach the 準決勝 and 決勝戦 in Carson, California. The 最高の,を越す two finishers in the tournament earn the 地域's 位置/汚点/見つけ出すs in the Tokyo Games.

The U.S. team has made the field for every Olympics since women's サッカー was 追加するd as a sport in 1996.

If Lloyd makes the squad for Tokyo, it will be her fourth Olympics. At the Beijing Games, she 得点する/非難する/20d in overtime for a 1-0 victory against Brazil in the final. Four years later, she 得点する/非難する/20d both goals in the gold-メダル match against Japan at Wembley Stadium, becoming the only player to 得点する/非難する/20 winning goals in 連続した Olympic 決勝戦.

Lloyd is not thinking 退職 - just yet. She's waiting to see if the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs makes the field, and then if she makes the roster.

And after Tokyo? Don't count Lloyd out of an NFL kicking career.

"I've always been someone who never 支援するd 負かす/撃墜する from a challenge, I've always 手配中の,お尋ね者 to be in those 圧力 状況/情勢s. But I've always been 用意が出来ている," Lloyd said. "The thing I've said 公然と is, yes, I'm considering the 適切な時期 if and when that ever happens. But first and 真っ先の, I'm 焦点(を合わせる)ing 単独で on サッカー 権利 now. I don't know how much longer I'm going to play. I'm going to take it up until after the Olympics and then 再評価する.

"But there is the 可能性のある. I would want to make sure that I'm 用意が出来ている and that I've kicked a thousand field goals and know what I'm getting myself into before I put myself into a 状況/情勢 where I don't have any 適切な時期 to 後継する," she said. "So that's that's sort of where I am that I'm leaving doors open and we'll see what the 未来 持つ/拘留するs."
