“Won’t Tolerate Abuses”- Carli Lloyd Fiercely Silences Trolls for Twisting Lionel Messi-Christian Pulisic Comments

Carli Lloyd remains caught up in the line of fire. Earlier, the USWNT icon offered a controversial take on Lionel Messi and Christian Pulisic which saw her become a subject of criticism on the internet. While the online beef doesn’t seem to have cooled off, Lloyd now has been forced to defend herself from the trolls and abuses of the netizens, insisting there is no ‘right or wrong when it’s an opinion’

The 41-year-old had first taken names like Messi, Diego Maradona, Jude Bellingham, and Pulisic—all in one sentence—making her a scapegoat. However, the former Houston Dash now came up with a fresh take on X: “You all need to relax and chill out. Messi has and will always be in league of his own. There will never be another Pele, Maradona, or Messi. There are other stars that could shine during these tournaments. Bellingham, Pulisic, Musiala, Vinicius Junior. I won’t tolerate abusive language toward me so ✌🏼.”

This again became a focal point for criticism aimed at the ex-forward, as a user named @chrissBFC insisted that this situation wouldn’t have arisen if she had avoided mentioning Pulisic’s name alongside such iconic names. Interestingly, Lloyd savagely replied, “I can bring up whoever I want. I’m the one on TV not you…and 🇺🇸 brightest star is Pulisic.” Well, her blunt responses didn’t end there!

A user named @Cgarry1022 wrote that despite his love for Lloyd as a player, her comments were not only ‘stupid‘ and ‘wrong,‘ but were also ’embarrassing.’ However, Lloyd remained adamant about her opinion and defended her by responding, “I’m not wrong. There is no right or wrong when it’s an opinion and I expect Pulisic to shine in Copa America for 🇺🇸.”

While Lloyd is fighting her battles alone, Pulisic looks to prove everyone wrong.
