Alex Morgan has been once again left out of the USWNT squad, so can she get back into it in time for the Olympics?
The 34-year-old striker has been once again left out of the squad but could she force her way back in for the Olympics?
The moment an international squad hits an email inbox or social media timeline, there's a mad dash to see who has made the cut. The U.S. women's national team is no different. When Twila Kilgore'sTrinity Rodman and Sophia Smith were there, of course. So too was Rose Lavelle. Oh, Alyssa Naeher was back to fight for a goalkeeping spot and, would you look at that,The squad, in truth, contained most of the usual suspects. But it's one missing name that remains a major talking point.
Just a few months away from the Olympics, the 34-year-old striker remains out in the cold. It isn't a one-time thing, a chance for Kilgore, and Emma Hayes, to assess different options ahead of this summer's tournament. No, right now, it feels like Morgan has a legitimate fight on her hands. It seems that she'll have to overcome the odds if she wants one last tournament run with the USWNT.
