Carli Lloyd’s life over the last seven months reads as much like a travel novel as it does a news story from the sports section. Since she got married last November, soccer has taken her to six countries, plus a full complement of American cities, with her club team and the U.S. national team.
Only rarely has she been able to settle down in one place. There were a few weeks while playing in Manchester City, and the month or so that has passed since she returned to the National Women’s Soccer League’s Houston Dash.
Now the Delran native is about to hit the road again, as the national team prepares for a round-robin tournament with Australia, Brazil, and Japan on the West Coast later this month.
