Carli Lloyd retired from professional soccer in November following a stellar career in which she won two Olympic gold medals two World Cup titles for the U.S. national team.

"Even within our squad, the culture has changed. It was really tough and challenging to play these last several years," Lloyd said. "To be quite honest, I hated it. It wasn’t fun going in. It was only for love of the game, really, for me. I wanted to win and wanted to help the team, but the culture within the team was the worst I had ever seen it. So, I’m hoping that the future is bright and some things change."

Lloyd didn’t specify  what she hated. The snippet of the interview was released Tuesday, and the full episode is set to drop Wednesday.

Solo, whose contract with the U.S. national team was terminated following the 2016 Olympics, empathized with Lloyd’s feelings. Solo said she wanted to be in camp to train and win games when she was with the team but hated the social and political aspect of it.
