The veteran stars uncorked vintage performances in the 4-3 victory over Australia.
Foord shrunk the margin back to two goals a few minutes later with a header in the 54th minute.
Rapinoe, 36, was subbed out by Tobin Heath in the 61st minute and Lloyd, 39, was replaced by Alex Morgan in the 81st. But the soccer icons had done the damage.Rapinoe and Lloyd shared two World Cup victories and have both been honored as the best player in the world. Lloyd has two Olympic gold medals and Rapinoe has one.
Rapinoe previously spoke of her frustration that she and Lloyd were not able to win gold at this tournament after the U.S. lost to Canada in the semifinals. But they still had a bronze to win. “There’s still a lot to compete for,” Rapinoe said before the game. “That’s what I told the girls and what we talked about in the huddle. It’s not the color we want, but there’s still a medal on the line.”She scored the game-winning goals for the Americans’ 2012 and 2008 gold-medalist teams. This time she provided the cushion for the U.S. to secure bronze.
