PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Take Carli Lloyd and Megan Rapinoe, put them in U.S. jerseys, along with the rest of the members of the national team, and they’ll put 15,000 to 20,000 fans in a stadium.
It happened a little more than a week ago in Houston when the USWNT beat overmatched Mexico in a friendly at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Put Lloyd in her Sky Blue FC jersey against Rapinoe of Seattle Reign FC in a more competitive matchup for the National Women’s Soccer League and they draw 1,193 fans, as they did Sunday at Yurcak Field at Rutgers University.
