Athletes are some of the most fearless humans in the world. Their physical capabilities are more than that of an average Joe. Even retired players are by far better athletes than casual players of the game. Soccer lies in the same category. The extensive training that soccer needs can prepare the player for any advanced physical activity.

USWNT legend Carli Lloyd will prove the same point with her new project. The USWNT veteran is among the best midfielders of the game with a 16-year-long career in which she won two Olympic gold medals and won two FIFA World Cups. In March 2021, before she announced her retirement from the game, she was the highest-paid soccer player in the world.

The accomplishments of Carli Lloyd would be hard to sum up in an article. She was the backbone of the team which dominated and terrorized almost every team they played against. The younger team will have to do an amazing job to carry the torch forward.

USWNT legend in a reality show

Carli Lloyd in a tweet back in Sep 2022 announced a show she was going to be a part of. The show ‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’ will air on Fox. Winning in almost every tournament she had played in must help the legend to have an edge over other stars appearing in the show.

While talking about the show Carli Lloyd said, “It was an incredible 17-year journey I had playing professional soccer and getting to represent my country. I have great memories, but I’m enjoying retired life… I didn’t think retired life would be like this with this opportunity to participate in a 10-day course, a Special Operations course.

Carli Lloyd might try her luck in the NFL

Recently, a video of the soccer star making a 55-yard field goal at the Philadelphia Eagles’ camp went viral. Fans asked if she would try her luck in the NFL. Coming back from retirement would be an easy task, but she did agree to the slight possibility of this becoming a reality.
