Alex Morgan is encountering criticism for what many consider to be embarrassing behavior after a recent draw.
The U.S. Women’s National Team is moving on from the elimination rounds of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, yet they do not seem as formidable as fans had expected prior to the event.
The current champions achieved a 3-0 win against Vietnam, as anticipated. However, they have not succeeded since, ending in a 1-1 draw with Holland and needing a favorable result on Tuesday morning against Portugal to advance to the next round.
That outcome resulted in a scoreless tie, disappointing supporters and analysts alike.
Advancement is progression, nonetheless. And the outcome was adequate for certain players, including Morgan, to revel and sign autographs. Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and Crystal Dunn were photographed dancing after the final whistle, inciting criticism from several sources.
Rob Stone and Carli Lloyd of Fox Sports were particularly displeased upon observing the postgame festivities.
“I have never witnessed anything like that,” Lloyd stated. “There’s a difference between being polite to the fans and greeting your family, but to be dancing, to be grinning…you’re fortunate not to be heading home at this moment.”

Meanwhile, the USWNT is anticipating the remaining results in the group stage to clarify their opponent for Sunday. They will seek a better performance as their current form will not be adequate for a third consecutive World Cup title.
