What They're Saying: Carli Lloyd

“All I wanted was for someone to call me or interview me and ask, ‘What’s your life been like?’ instead of attacking me. There’s just always been this perception of me that I’m selfish, I’m a terrible person, I’m hard to manage, I’m uncoachable, I’m this, I’m that. But everything you guys are saying is the total opposite of what I am. But no one’s asked.”

-- Carli Lloyd on how her life changed after the 2015 Women's World Cup, where she scored a hat trick in the final for the USA, leaving her exhausted by the end of the year as she was pulled in different directions to fulfill sponsorship obligations and make appearances. (The Athletic)
