Why Carli Lloyd ranks #20 in Football
Carli Lloyd ranks 20th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 34th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 98, Longevity 86, Honours 92, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2005–2021 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, which sets the Peak component at 98. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 98 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 2, olympic gold medals 2, fifa world player awards 2, usa goals 134.
Immediately ahead sits Zinedine Zidane on 90.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Romário on 90.1. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
