Don't even TRY to say you weren't impressed by alexmorgan13's performance yesterday.
As Team USA prepares for its next game in the high-stakes tournament, taking place in Paris this Sunday, June 16 against Chile, we’ve rounded up six interesting, inspiring, and perhaps unexpected facts about the squad’s star scorer.Though the Americans’ performance on Tuesday was undeniably epic, not everyone agreed with their unrelenting style of play in the second half and enthusiastic celebration after each goal was scored.
"I think it's disrespectful if we don't show up and give our best and play our game for 90 minutes," Morgan said, according toMorgan then defended the team’s excitement. "And for the celebrations, these are goals we have dreamt of our entire life. I mean, I'm going to celebrate Mal Pugh's goal. I'm going to celebrate Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle [both athletes scored twice]. This is their first World Cup and I'm so proud of them.
A little over three years ago, Morgan joined teammates Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Megan Rapinoe in filing awith the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the U.S. Soccer Federation, the sport’s governing body. The complaint requested an investigation into the organization’s payment structure on the basis that the women’s team earns far less than the men’s team, despite consistently outperforming them., Morgan explained the impetus for her action.
Then, on International Women’s Day 2019, Morgan and the 27 other players on the U.S. women’s soccer team filed a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation for allegations of gender discrimination, claiming the women are paid less and face inferior working conditions than the men. Morgan's was the first name listed on the lawsuit.Time Magazine
