Alex Morgan celebrated her 30th birthday with a goal against England and a cup of tea
Alex Morgan is having a pretty good 30th birthday.
The forward's header in the 31st minute put the U.S. up 2-1 over England in the first half of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup semifinal matchup.
After she found the back of the net for the sixth time this tournament, Morgan calmly pretended to enjoy a cup of tea. One can only presume it was meant to be English Breakfast. Tim O'Donnell
