In a 6-0 crush by South Korea, the 39-year-old got the chance to say goodbye to the fans and teammates.

"I want to thank all of you fans, doubters, critics, everyone - you have pushed me to higher and higher heights throughout my career and I am extremely grateful for that," Lloyd told the audience at the arena in St Paul.

Lloyd did not finish with a goal, but when she was replaced in the 65th minute, she was able to sum up her national team career with two Olympic golds, two World Cup golds and 134 goals, she has also been named player of the year twice by Fifa.

- To be able to play this beautiful sport for 34 years - it has been an honor.

I hope you know that I gave my all for each and every one of you.
