Carli Lloyd joked that seeing the Rolling Stones perform live prior to her final game for the U.S. national team has made her reconsider her retirement plans.
Lloyd and her team-mates saw the legendary band perform in Minneapolis on Sunday night ahead of Tuesday's game against South Korea in neighboring St. Paul.
The 39-year-old will earn her 316th and final cap against South Korea, and will end her playing career following the conclusion of the current NWSL season.
"Throughout my career I've just wanted to be the best soccer player that I could be," Lloyd said. "I've often missed out on going to do things for fun. I'm not missing out on anything now, and I was really happy that I decided to go see the Rolling Stones live. They were unbelievable.
"They sort of make me feel like I should keep playing! Mick [Jagger] running down the stage at the age of 78 and performing the way that he did was pretty incredible.
