Veteran striker Alex Morgan broke her silence after the United States women’s soccer team did what they had to do without her in Paris and brought home the gold.

The United States Women’s National Soccer Team brought along a fresh-faced coaching staff and a roster of young players that should be able to keep the squad at the top of the table for the next decade or more.

The team got off to a great start, winning the Olympic gold medal on Saturday at Parc des Princes, defeating Brazil in the final 1-0.

Longtime forward Alex Morgan may have been snubbed from the team, but she took to social media to praise her ex-teammates.

“Alyssa Naeher you are out of this world!” she wrote of the American goalkeeper.

She added: “OOSA OOSA OOSA !!!”

Morgan co-captioned the USWNT from 2018 to 2020 and is the team’s active leading goal scorer, ranking fifth all-time.

Her not being picked had a lot to do with father time as well as injuries, such as when Alex Morgan missed more than a month with the San Diego Wave after she injured her left ankle in April.

The United States had not won gold since the 2012 London Games but made up for it this year by bringing the gold back home.

The United States women’s national soccer team entered the 2024 Paris Olympics with a new coach and a retooled roster that did not include Alex Morgan.

Morgan, who is 35, responded to the news on social media, saying she was “disappointed” by the outcome.

“Today, I’m disappointed about not having the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage. This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest,” she wrote in a post on X.

“In less than a month, I look forward to supporting this team and cheering them on alongside the rest of our country. LFG”

Michigan Wolverines HC Sherrone Moore Provides Major Update On Team’s Starting QB Plans For 2024 Season With JJ McCarthy No Longer Around

Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore provided an interesting update on his team’s plans at quarterback as the regular season draws closer.

The defending national champions will look a lot different this year. Head coach Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL after accepting the Los Angeles Chargers’ HC vacancy, and Moore was named the new head coach of the Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan will also have a new starting quarterback. Last year’s signal-caller, JJ McCarthy, declared for the 2024 NFL Draft and was taken 10th overall by the Minnesota Vikings.

Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle and Alex Orji are the three front-runners for the starting job, according to Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press. Tuttle attempted 17 passes in minimal action last season, completing 15 of them for 130 yards and a touchdown.

With the Aug. 31 season opener against Fresno State drawing closer, Moore stresses that he’s still taking his time deciding on the new starting QB in Ann Arbor:

“The ideal timeline is when we feel like we’ve got the guy who will help us win. There’s not a date, not a time. We will have a feel as a staff…(Offensive coordinator) Kirk Campbell is a phenomenal coach…he will make a great decision and we will be there to make it together.”
