[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food for thought as you ponder the reason for the performance.

Lloyd called the goal post the player of the match.

Lloyd detailed how much she “hated” playing on the team, particularly due to what she described as a poor locker room culture.

Carli Lloyd blasts USWNT atmosphere: 'The culture within the team was the worst I've ever seen it'

"The winning culture and mentality that has carried on from generation to generation within the USWNT has been fizzling away," Lloyd wrote on Twitter.

"I said it when I retired. I saw it slipping away. Players have to embody that. That's been our DNA since the 80s, but not so much anymore."

earlier this year she lamented a cultural change in the team in recent years, saying some players were more focused on building their brands than winning.

No amount of “winning culture and mentality” can overcome poor development. “Winning culture and mentality” was easy when the rest of the world was still catching up.

Not anymore, the rest of the world has caught up and USWNT will eventually be on par with the USMNT if development does not change.  Sure, lots of college scholarships but mediocre on the international stage.
