Alex Morgan

Alex Morgan is not just a pretty face. The American soccer player is a force to be reckoned with. This woman has racked up some serious victories and broken numerous records in her career. And as FIFA 2023 approaches, her commitment to representing the USA at the world cup is stronger than ever.

Let’s start with her victories. Alex has won Olympic gold not once, but twice with the USA Women’s National Team. She also won the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and was a runner-up in 2011. And let’s not forget her victories in the National Women’s Soccer League, where she’s won two championships.

Alex is known for breaking records! One of her lesser known records is that she holds the USWNT record for most goals scored as a mother. Alex has scored 14 national team goals since giving birth to her daughter in May of 2020. Though she holds many records, we’re sure this is the one that she’s most proud of!

Alex is also the youngest player to score a goal for the USA Women’s National Team in an Olympic game. Not only that, but she’s also one of three players to score five goals in a single match in the World Cup. And, let’s not forget her record for the most goals scored in a calendar year for the USA Women’s National Team!

 

FIFA 2023

With all these victories and records under her belt, it’s no surprise that Alex is committed to representing the USA at the FIFA 2023 World Cup. This woman knows what it takes to win, and she’s not going to let anything stand in her way.

Thankfully, Alex is a seasoned athlete and knows her way around the FIFA World Cup. In fact she even had the honour of being featured on the cover of FIFA 16 for XBOX! That’s right, Alex’s soccer skills have transcended real life into EA sports!

Despite her many successes, Alex remains humble and committed to the sport. She works hard to bring home victories and we can’t wait to see her score more goals on the FIFA world stage!

But she doesn’t just know her way around the field, Alex’s commitment to the sport goes beyond just her own success. She’s been an advocate for gender equality in soccer and has used her platform to speak out against discrimination. Whether it’s equal pay or working to reduce media gatekeepers to give women’s sports the coverage it deserves! Today, this topic has become more prevalent than ever. With the potential blackout of the women’s FIFA World Cup in Europe, we desperately need advocates like Alex to speak out for women’s soccer!

So, as we approach the FIFA 2023 World Cup, we have no doubt that Alex Morgan will be a key player on the USA Women’s National Team. Her talent, dedication, and commitment to the sport make her a player worth keeping your eyes on. And who knows, maybe we’ll see her break even more records and bring home another victory for the USA!
