Carli Lloyd, World Cup Golden Ball Winner, U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year, and FIFA Women's World Player of the Year. Hey Samuel is here and I'm Stephan Caffrey. We're just two kids from Boston trying to make it on this US Women's National Team, and we figured there was no better way to do that than to do what Carli does. Hey Carli, do you always wear your sweats like that for training? Yeah, I like them tight. Cool, okay, here we go. Looking good. Do you always eat greens for lunch every day? Ready, 1, 2, 3, midfield shots. Okay then, she stole it. Okay guys, keep working on it. So I've been thinking, I think that I'm gonna try to get myself invited to Carli's wedding. Go for it. Hey Steph, what's up? Hey Carli, nothing. So I meant to ask you, when's your wedding? It is the fall of this year. Alright, where is it? It's a destination wedding. Oh yeah, well I mean, not really doing anything this fall. I'm pretty free. So do you want to come to the wedding? Well Steph, I think we had a good week. I think we learned a lot.
