Maddie Meyer – FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images(LYON, France) — Another win for the U.S. women’s national team, another round of calls of “arrogance.”
In what has become a theme throughout this World Cup for the defending champions, critics are once again complaining that the American athletes were too celebratory about winning.
This time around, it was a goal scored by captain Alex Morgan in the semifinal match against England Tuesday.
About 30 minutes into the match, the U.S. was tied 1-1. That’s when Morgan ran toward the goal and used her head — literally — to put the U.S. in the lead.
The cross.
