After a wild six-plus months stretch, Alex Morgan is back and she is feisty. Her dominant play and fiery aurora during the Concacaf W Gold Cup have the attention of soccer fans, and they are loving it.
If you’ve been paying attention, the USWNT didn’t look so hot in the 2023 World Cup, and amid their early exit, Alex Morgan didn’t look so great either. It’s probably a huge reason why she wasn’t on the initial roster for the Concacaf W Gold Cup. However, after Mia Fishel suffered a torn ACL, Alex Morgan was asked to step in.
Morgan’s presence was unexpected, but she was a delightful surprise on Sunday as the USWNT beat Colombia 3-0. Morgan was all over the field, helping her teammates and trash-talking Colombian defenders.
