Morgan will arrive at the club after representing Orlando Pride for four years. One of those years was spent on loan at French club Lyon, with whom Morgan won the domestic league, cup, and Champions League treble.

In addition, Morgan has enjoyed a dazzling career on the international stage, making 169 appearances and scoring 107 goals for the United States national team.

Morgan has won two world cup titles for the United States; in 2015 and 2019. She has also claimed two CONCACAF Women’s Championship titles.

Also included in her extensive list of accolades is an array of individual honors. She has been named the CONCACAF Women’s Player of the Year on four occasions and also been crowned US Soccer Athlete of the Year twice, in 2012 and 2018.

Morgan is a major addition to the Tottenham Hotspur team, who started their Super League campaign last week with a 1-1 draw to West Ham. Spurs are also due to face Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter finals.

The North London side, which finished seventh in the league last season, expects a vast improvement this season with Morgan in their arsenal.

The game was full of intense action and dramatic calls, but the US soldiered on top advance to their third consecutive World Cup final despite the absence of star forward Megan Rapinoe.

The US women grabbed an early 1-0 lead in only the 10th minute of the match when Rapinoe’s replacement, Christen Press, scored a header after a brilliant deep cross by Kelley O’Hara.

The lead didn’t last long, however, as Ellen White scored her 5th goal of the tournament with a cheeky back-heel kick that US goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher could simply do nothing to stop.

Despite giving up a goal, the USWNT immediately went back to work and pushed for a goal. Lindsey Horan played a floated ball into the box, and flamboyant superstar Alex Morgan scored the 13th goal of her World Cup career on her 30th birthday. She mocked England with a memorable celebration that will go down in the history books.

In the second half, controversy arose when an England goal was ruled offside after a VAR revision in 67th minute.

England had another chance to tie in the 84th minute after a foul on White in the box. England defender Steph Houghton stepped up to the line to take the penalty, but her weak shot was saved by a diving Naeher, and England simply couldn’t create any more good chances.

The final whistle blew, and the USWNT euphorically celebrated qualifying for its third consecutive final. They’ll look to wrap up their second straight World Cup win on Sunday in Lyon.

The Thai team, making only the second World Cup appearance in the national side’s history, was simply unable to compete with one of the competition’s favorites. Try as they might have, they simply had no answer for the United States’ long list of talented stars.

Alex Morgan scored 5 goals and recorded 3 assists in the opening game rout. Samantha Mewis added two goals of her own, while Rose Lavelle, Lindsey Horan, Megan Rapinoe, Mallory Pugh, and Carli Lloyd also found the net.

Some viewed the Americans’ huge win as controversial, given that they did not seem to let off the gas after starting to dominate the match. Surprisingly, the game was only 3-0 at halftime.

The second half was when the American women really started to push and absolutely humiliated an overmatched Thailand squad.

The win was the most lopsided in the competition’s history, overtaking Germany’s 11-0 win over Argentina in the 2007 tournament.

Whether it was too ruthless of a victory or not, the USWNT now owns a huge cushion in the World Cup’s Group F. They will attempt to continue their march towards the top spot in the group on Sunday when they face off against Chile in Paris.
