England love their football and would have been relived when they learnt that star forward Megan Rapinoe was not going to play the semi-finals due to a strained hamstring.

However, England was immediately under pressure after Christen Press scored in the 10th minute and continued the USWNT habit of scoring early goals.

England fought back and levelled the score soon after to keep fans from both sides at the edge of their seats. The US pulled ahead in the 31st minute when Alex Morgan scored a fantastic goal and then celebrated in style by pretending to drink a cup of tea – the English way!

Morgan set the tournament on fire during the USWNT’s opening game against Thailand when she scored 5 goals. Since then it has been a rather quiet tournament for her but she came to the party when her team needed her the most. She is now a contender for the top scorer at the World Cup and another goal in the final could help her win the Golden Boot award.

Fifth Final For The USWNT
