The United States beat Germany 2-1 in the SheBelieves Cup final and Alex Morgan scored a goal that was definitely worthy of medal.
With Germany winning 1-0 in the first half, Meghan Klingenberg played a long ball to Morgan, who chased it down, lifted the ball around a defender with one foot and then scored on the volley with the other in a motion so graceful and perfect that my brain can’t even comprehend that level of coordination.
In addition to scoring a goal that I will watch continuously for the next few days, Morgan also won both the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball awards in the newly established tournament.
Wow that was so smooth. It is like she wasn’t playing against one of the best back lines in women’s soccer.
