USWNT legend Carli Lloyd admits team lost to ‘bunch’ of 15-year-old boys before World Cup run

My cmnt: I have several posts on this site about the fact that most of the women’s college basketball teams use former high school boys basketball players to scrimmage against. Elite MMA female wrestlers always spar against men. If girls and women athletes want to get better they always practice against males.

My cmnt: The point of this obvious superiority of men over women in sports, hand-to-hand combat, etc. is that Libs proclaim that men should compete against women, including Megan Rapinoe, who has come under fire for her defense of allowing transgender people (i.e., men) to compete against women.

USWNT legend Carli Lloyd shared one of her most embarrassing moments representing the United States when her team lost to the FC Dallas boys U-15 team.

While answering questions on X, Lloyd was asked by one user “Carli is it true you lost to a bunch of 15 year old boys?”

“Yes it’s true. I know…thousands of people have already brought that up,” Lloyd answered. “They were good.”

Lloyd went on to say the loss wasn’t the only one she experienced at the hands of a male team, but that it helped her secure some prestigious tournaments, including gold medals at two FIFA World Cups (2015, 2019) and two Olympics (2008, 2012)

“We actually lost to a youth Bayern Munich team in my career as well but then we went on to win Olympics and World Cups. So…..” Lloyd added.

FC Dallas defeated the USWNT 5-2 and was used by the US as a tune-up before an international friendly against Russia, according to CBSSports.

One user shared a photo under Lloyd’s post showcasing the size difference between the women and the teen boys.

“Typically when someone mentions this, I’ll post one of the pub photos of you standing with one of the boys… who is a foot taller than you. I mean, c’mon!” one user commented.

“They should beat us. Bigger, stronger, faster! Boys always gave us a run for our money! It was great prep,” Lloyd wrote in response.

Lloyd confirmed the loss on social media, adding it wasn't the only time the USWNT lost to a male team.

Playing elite boys team made them so much better. The USWNT went on to win the World Cup two years later in France.
