After putting the United States 2-1 up in the 31st minute, Morgan ran to the sideline and stopped to sip an imaginary cup of tea, sparking a slew of memes and American Revolution references on social media. Morgan came in for some criticism for the celebration, with England international Lianne Sanderson describing it as “distasteful”.
“I could be wrong but it’s based upon playing against England and we love our tea in England. I’m not a tea drinker but that’s what we’re connected with so I think it’s a little bit distasteful.”
