Channing Tatum’s World Cup Transformation Into Soccer Star Erling Haaland Deserves a Double Take
Carli Lloyd may have been a midfielder, but she’s become a striker in her retirement.
Following the U.S. men’s national team’s tough 4-1 loss to Belgium during the 2026 World Cup’s round of 16 match on July 6, the soccer player-turned-commentator shared her candid opinion on the team’s performance.
“I feel like they lost the game before they even stepped out onto the pitch,” Lloyd remarked on Fox Sports’ broadcast after the match. “And I’m not sure why, and I don’t know the reasons. But just from the beginning, just chasing, tentative, scared—just not confident on the ball.”
She also took specific aim at the team member dubbed “Captain America,” 27-year-old Christian Pulisic.
“I think big time players, you wanted some of those big-time players to step up in big moments,” she said. “And I gotta be honest, I was a bit disappointed with Christian Pulisic. I think whether he wants to be the star of this team or not, we didn’t see enough from him in this particular game and really the whole World Cup, little glimpses here and there.”
