Watch Alex Morgan Troll England With ‘Tea Cup’ Goal Celebration In Semifinal
Well that was quite cheeky, wasn’t it?
The U.S. women’s soccer team found themselves in battle in the first half of their semifinal against England in the Women’s World Cup, until Alex Morgan gave the Yanks a leg up in the 31st minute.
Morgan headed a centering strike swiftly past the goalkeeper to give the U.S. a 2-1 lead at the break. Not a bad way to spend your 30th birthday, eh? Well, it got even better from there. Morgan broke out a full on tea party in celebration, taking a big sip of from her imaginary tea cup — pinky up.
Take a look:
Alex Morgan scores her first goal since the opening game and retakes the lead in the Golden Boot race (6 goals, 3 assists)

What do you think? Leave a comment.
And it seems the American crowd at Parc Olympique Lyonnais helped the U.S. striker ring in a new decade by serenading her and breaking into “Happy Birthday.”
Did the @USWNT fans just sing "Happy Birthday to you" to @alexmorgan13 there?
Because if they did, that's lovely. #ENGUSA🏴🇺🇸
