Alex Morgan

She is still a star on the current U.S. team at the Women's World Cup

Transcript

00:00 It's interesting, but merely coincidental, that Alex Morgan appears on our Cal 100 at

00:06 the same time that she's competing in her fourth World Cup with the United States in

00:13 Australia and New Zealand and played her first game the other day in a USA 3-0 victory over

00:20 Vietnam.

00:21 And it's also interesting that she missed a penalty kick in that game, which very rarely

00:25 happens, which I don't think it's going to tarnish her image at all.

00:31 I still expect her to be a goal scorer for the Americans.

00:35 If she goes without a goal in this World Cup, I'd be stunned.

00:39 And so would the rest of the US soccer world, I suppose.

00:44 But her influence in soccer is second to none, really, when you consider the book she's written

00:53 and the fight for equal pay and all those kinds of things.

00:57 And her ability with documentation to get the commissioner of the National Women's Soccer

01:06 League essentially fired.

01:08 She ended up resigning officially, but it was because of information provided by Morgan

01:13 that really led to that.

01:16 And then, of course, she's one of the best soccer players ever in the history of America.

01:21 And you could probably extend that to the world.

01:23 I don't know if she'd be in the top five or six, but she'd be up there, certainly.

01:28 Thank you.
