United States' Alex Morgan holds a child as she greats fans after defeating Jamaica 5-0 in a CONCACAF Women's Championship soccer match in Monterrey, Mexico, Thursday, July 7, 2022. – As the U.S. national team has focused on developing young talent in anticipation of next summer's World Cup, veteran forward Alex Morgan has assumed a more vocal role.
“The younger players can hold their own. They’ve been doing amazing. I think the one thing that I would say I definitely have increased this tournament is vocally on the field, like helping players with positioning, set pieces, the things that this team takes pride in, the mentality, kind of just helping push players along a little bit,” she said.
The United States and Canada have already qualified for next summer's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand as top finishers at the tournament. But the winner of the final also earns one of the region's berths at the 2024 Olympics in France.Morgan is not slowing down by any means, as evidenced by her fantastic club season so far.
