She accepted the role, but made no secret she wanted to start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">When the call came Sunday, Lloyd made it count with a pair of goals to lead the defending champions to a 3-0 victory over Chile. The win pushed the United States into the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lloyd was the hero of the World Cup in Canada four years ago when she scored three goals in the final against Japan that gave the Americans their third World Cup title. But she was on the bench when the U.S. opened the tournament, even though she scored later as a substitute in the 13-0 victory over Thailand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI know that my ability is there, I know this is my best version of me. I\u2019ve just got to go out there and prove it,\u201d she said. \u201cWhether that\u2019s coming off the bench and making an impact, whether that\u2019s starting and getting the opportunity, which I\u2019m grateful for, I\u2019m just trying to make the most of it. I want to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lloyd became the first player to score in six straight World Cup matches with her goal in the 11th minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She added another on a header off a corner in the 35th for her 10th career World Cup goal, which moved her into third on the U.S. list behind Abby Wambach (14) and Michelle Akers (12). At 36, she became the oldest player to have a multi-goal game in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She nearly got another hat trick \u2014 which would have made her the first player with two in the World Cup \u2014 but her penalty kick in the 81st minute went wide left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s haunting me right now,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cWasn\u2019t good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The score could have been worse for Chile without unshakable goalkeeper Christiane Endler, who finished with six saves and fended off a flurry of U.S. shots in the second half.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Endler was named player of the match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI love the balls coming towards me and being able to showcase my skills,\u201d she said through a translator. \u201cObviously it\u2019s difficult to maintain concentration. I think in the first half it was difficult for me to get into the game. I think the second half went better for me and in general for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The victory over Chile was more subdued than the U.S. team\u2019s record-breaking rout of Thailand. The Americans celebrated every goal even after the win was well in hand, and the display offended many who thought the champions should have shown more class. The controversy clouded the run-up to the match against Chile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Several of the American players reached out to their Thai counterparts following the match. Lloyd exchanged encouraging words and tweets with goalkeeper Sukanya Chor Charoenying, and FIFA posted an interview with Thailand\u2019s coach thanking the U.S. players for being professional and playing well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After such a rout, Jill Ellis made sweeping changes to the starting lineup against Chile, including a new front line with Lloyd, Christen Press and Mallory Pugh. Alex Morgan was moved to the bench along with Megan Rapinoe and Tobin Heath.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Becky Sauerbrunn, who sat out the match against Thailand because of a minor quad injury, returned and anchored a backline that included 20-year-old Tierna Davidson, who was making her World Cup debut. Davidson is the youngest player to start for the United States in a World Cup since Tiffany Roberts against Norway in 1995.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Chile made just one lineup change, starting midfielder Claudia Soto in place of Yanara Aedo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Chile lost its opener to Sweden 2-0, but Endler was solid in that game, too, keeping the Swedes out of the goal until 83rd minute. The second goal got past the 6-footer in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Julie Ertz scored in the 26th minute with a header off a corner kick from Davidson that Endler got her hands on but couldn\u2019t stop. It was Ertz\u2019s first World Cup goal and came with her husband Zach Ertz, a tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, looking on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Endler denied Lloyd another chance at the hat trick when she tipped the U.S. captain\u2019s shot over the net in the 72nd minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sweden also advanced out of Group F with a victory 5-1 victory over Thailand earlier Sunday in Nice. Japan, playing in Group D with England, also went through to the knockout stage because both the United States and Sweden won.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Former Vice President Joe Biden was among the U.S. team\u2019s well-wishers before the sold-out game at Parc des Princes stadium. Biden, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, referenced the team\u2019s lawsuit against U.S. Soccer alleging gender discrimination and seeking equitable pay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cAs we cheer them on in the World Cup, we must support their fight off the field for equal pay. In 2019, it\u2019s past time we close the pay gap and ensure women get paid as much as men,\u201d Biden tweeted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">U.S. soccer maintains the two teams have different pay structures because of separate collective bargaining agreements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But for now, the players are concentrating on France and bringing home a fourth World Cup championship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The United States plays Sweden on Thursday to wrap up the group stage. It is the first meeting between the two teams since Sweden ousted the Americans from the quarterfinals at the 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Chile wraps up the group with a match against Thailand on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP soccer: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/apf-Soccer\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/apf-Soccer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/lloyd-a-world-cup-starter-again-scores-2-as-us-beats-chile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States&#8217; Carli Lloyd , center, celebrates with Lindsey Horan and Tierna Davidson, right, after scoring the opening goal during the Women&#8217;s World Cup Group F soccer match between the United States and Chile at the Parc des Princes in Paris, Sunday, June 16, 2019.
