Carli Lloyd Earns 300th Cap as USWNT Settles for Draw With Sweden

U.S. women's national team midfielder Carli Lloyd became the third American player to play in 300 international matches after starting in a 1–1 friendly draw with Sweden on Saturday.

Only Kristine Lilly (354 caps) and Christie Pearce Rampone (311 caps) have made more international appearances—for either the men's or women's team—than Lloyd, who is in her 17th year after debuting in 2005.

The 38-year-old has played in four World Cups and three Olympic Games and is fourth on the all-time U.S. goalscoring list with 124 career goals. On Saturday, Lloyd started at forward in Stockholm where the USWNT was bailed out by a dubious late penalty call.
