April 10, 2021

On April 10, 2021, the U.S. Women’s National Team played Sweden to a 1-1 draw in Stockholm in a meeting between two of the world’s top-five ranked teams.

Though just a friendly, the match came with a bit of history as U.S. forward Carli Lloyd earned her 300th international cap, becoming just the third player in the history of international soccer – women or men – to play 300 times for their country. Lloyd started and captained the side, playing 65 minutes on the night.

Lloyd’s 300th cap put her into an exclusive club that has just three members, the other two being her former teammates, world international appearance record holder Kristine Lilly (354 caps) and long-time U.S. captain Christie Pearce Rampone (311).
