Few of the 24 women's World Cup teams arriving in France for next month...
NEW YORK - Few of the 24 women’s World Cup teams arriving in France for next month’s tournament will bear the weight of expectation quite like reigning champions the United States.
In March, they sued the U.S. Soccer Federation with allegations of gender discrimination with all 28 members of the squad named as plaintiffs in federal court. Lloyd, along with striker Alex Morgan, 29, and attacking midfielder Megan Rapinoe, 33, are among the veterans critical not only on the pitch but off it, as the U.S. bring new faces to the World Cup stage, said head coach Jill Ellis.
“I understand that when you look at literal terms yes we’re defending champions, but I don’t feel like going into this tournament we’re looking at defending anything because this is four years we’re talking about. There’s so many things that can change.” Much is expected of 21-year-old forward Mallory Pugh, while 26-year-old defender Crystal Dunn has plenty to prove, having been the last player cut from the 2015 World Cup squad.
