Thailand keeper thanks U.S.'s Carli Lloyd for supportive chat after 13-0 game

Thailand goalkeeper Sukanya Chor Charoenying paid tribute to United States forward Carli Lloyd for offering words of encouragement after the Americans scored 13 goals in the team's women's World Cup opener on Tuesday.

The U.S. was ruthless in its demolition of the Asian side in their Group F match in Reims, France, with Lloyd grabbing the final goal in stoppage time.

Sukanya, however, wrote a message of thanks to Lloyd on Twitter alongside a picture of the two embracing after the final whistle at Stade Auguste-Delaune.

"Thanks so much, Lloyd. Your words that you told me make me strong.
