Former Cal star Morgan played only the second half of San Diego’s NWSL loss to Gotham FC
We’re getting to the stage where we are analyzing every bit of information looking for hints as to whether former Cal star Alex Morgan will be a member of the United States’ 18-player roster for the Olympics.
Does her being left out of the starting lineup suggest the Wave has lost some confidence in Morgan, which would reflect badly on her chances of making the Olympic roster? The fact that five San Diego starters were replaced during the game gives some credence to the latter argument. Her vast international experience and her 123 international goals are reasons she should be on the team, but her recent injury, her lack of scoring this year, and her age are reasons Hayes might leave Morgan off the 18-player roster and perhaps name her as an alternate. One factor – that she is exclusively a No. 9 as far as her position – is seen by some as a reason she will make the roster but seen by others as a reason she won’t make the roster.
