Carli Lloyd Criticises Pulisic After USA Exit

Carli Lloyd, a two‑time World Cup winner, blasted Christian Pulisic for failing to produce in the 4-1 defeat to Belgium in the round of 16. "I was a bit disappointed with Christian Pulisic. We didn’t see enough from him in this particular game and really the whole World Cup," she said, citing his limited playtime and missed opportunities.

The U.S. had scored 10 goals in the first four matches and looked strong, but the loss at home in Seattle highlighted a persistent weakness in the round of 16. Lloyd added that the tournament overall was a bright story, uniting fans and boosting the sport, yet the team must learn from the defeat to grow long‑term. forestarrow.help
