Whenever USWNT needs goals to win, they rely on the most experienced and prolific players on the team. Alex Morgan is one such player. Morgan debuted in the World Cup 2011, for the USWNT, where she wasn’t a go-to forward, but she proved her worth by scoring in the semi-final and final. From then onwards, she has become an integral part of the team.

Morgan with Megan Rapinoe had won several big matches and tournaments for USWNT. The USWNT have won four world cups (1991, 1999, 2015, 2019) and four Olympics gold medals. However, the Women’s FIFA world cup is in next year. For now, all eyes are on the USMNT. Indeed, the men’s world cup will be commencing on 20th November and Alex Morgan had a three-word message for the men’s national team.

That means that the men’s national team last played in a world cup in 2014.

Former USWNT captain Alex Morgan sent out an inspiring message to the young men who will be on their way to Qatar. She wrote, “Let’s do this!!!”
