Several years ago, the US women's national team competed against the FC Dallas under-15 boys academy team. 

The 2017 matchup was scheduled to help the USWNT prepare for a pair of friendly matches with Russia's national team ahead of the FIFA Women's World Cup. 

This week, former USWNT star Carli Lloyd admitted that the women's national team suffered a 5-2 loss to the under-15 boys team.

"If it's true you lost to a bunch of 15 year old boys?" someone asked on X, the company formerly known as Twitter on Thursday.

"Yes it’s true. I know…thousands of people have already brought that up," Lloyd responded.
