US star Carli Lloyd

     
     Those pellets are there to help you slide, sometimes in the grass there's no rubber pellets and your foot can get stuck and that's when injuries can happen.However, Lloyd, who scored the Olympic gold medal-winning goals for the US in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, has not given up hope that the decision can be reversed. But my ultimate goal is to become the Fifa World Player of the Year. I was fortunate enough to make the shortlist this year, but that's a goal of mine and I'm going to do everything to keep working hard towards that goal.I just don't want soccer getting to that point where everybody's playing on artificial turf".I hope that we, as players, can do something - as well as other countries and federations and just let Fifa know that we're not really too happy about this decision.Lloyd's anger is shared by her team-mate and 2012 Fifa World Player of the Year Abby Wambach who spoke out on Twitter.I've still got a lot more in me. Obviously I want to bring home the 2015 World Cup. That's kind of a major thing, I will do anything to become a World Cup champion, she added. Wambach tweeted:  "I usually don't retweet articles about myself, but I think it is too important to stay silent on. The men should worry too, they could be next.
