PARIS - Veteran U.S. forward Carli Lloyd defended her World Cup team mates on Friday after widespread criticism of their exuberant goal celebrations during the 13-0 trouncing of Thailand.
Lloyd herself earned some credit for consoling luckless Thai goalkeeper Sukanya Chor Charoenying and accompanying her off the field after the record-smashing match in Reims on Tuesday. A three-time Olympian and scorer of critical goals that helped the United States win the World Cup in 2015, Lloyd scored the thirteenth goal of the night against Thailand.
Lloyd tweeted back: “All you can do is give it your best each and every day. Keep fighting and never give up!!”Former U.S. goalkeeping star Hope Solo was full of praise for the Americans’ performance, but said she found it “tough” to watch some of their celebrations given the scoreline.
