“I’d 100% Not Be Walking Today” – Angry Alex Morgan Lashes Out at Referee After Surviving Horror Tackle in NWSL

Alex Morgan, the USWNT co-captain, encountered a distressing incident during her NWSL fixture. She fumed over referees’ decisions during the course of the game. Moreover, the veteran forward turned to social media after surviving a brutal tackle from the rival defender.

Morgan’s side suffered a 1-2 defeat against Kansas City Current after consecutive wins in the league. Following the game, the USWNT icon didn’t mince words while commenting on the reckless foul that went unnoticed by the referee. It could potentially alter the final score in favor of the home team.

What did Alex Morgan remark on social media?

San Diego Waves lost their seventh game in the league at Snapdragon Stadium. Meanwhile, Alex Morgan highlighted a reckless foul committed against her. Surprisingly, it was not awarded a penalty or any booking for the Kansas City defender. Stine Ballisager Pedersen made a robust challenge on the ex-Orlando Pride star within the penalty area. Nonetheless, the Danish star escaped without receiving a yellow card for the tackle, leaving Morgan fuming after the game.

The Gals legend expressed dissatisfaction with the referees’ decision on X, “In what world is this not a penalty and red card, or even foul? Completely reckless and the leg going in for the tackle doesn’t even get a ball when I cut her? Just glad I saw her coming and didn’t plant on that leg or I’d 100% not be walking today”.

San Diego holds the second position in the NWSL standings, trailing by two points behind the leaders. Additionally, the Wave FC coach did not remark on officiating and the referee’s perspective on the tackle involving Morgan.

Why San Diego’s coach did not comment on the match officials?

Casey Stoney, Wave FC’s coach, praised Sierra Enge’s performance against Kansas City. The Cardiff native netted her second goal in the 50 minute off a corner kick. Moreover, San Diego intensified their efforts in the second half of the game following the early concessions of two goals. Meanwhile, Stoney refrained from any take on referring despite being denied genuine decisions in their favor. On this instance, she quoted in the press conference, “I’m not gonna give the league any more of my money”.

The 41-year-old coach believed her comment might result in a fine from NWSL. As a result, Morgan’s side would square off against the Thorns at Provident Park after NWSL head into a FIFA break. Therefore, fans and club were eager to return to their winning ways after a surprising loss in the league fixture.
