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.

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.
Alex Morgan’s message for the stars of the USMNT
USWNT has won four world cups and gold medals as well. However, the USMNT is relatively younger and are massive underdogs this year. The USA became the youngest nation to qualify for the 2022 FIFA world cup. However, in 2018, the USMNT didn’t qualify for the world cup. That means that the men’s national team last played in a world cup in 2014.
