The United States Women’s National Team began their run through the 2023 FIFA World Cup with a 3-0 victory over Vietnam on Friday night, but according to USWNT star Alex Morgan, it wasn’t quite the performance they were hoping for.
During a press conference this week, Alex Morgan had a pretty brutal assessment of the team’s play, acknowledging that they looked disjointed and “weren’t always clicking” during the game.
“I think we saw a lot of glimpses of our potential, but I feel like we weren’t always clicking on the field,” Morgan said during Tuesday’s news conference.
“I feel like some of the plays that we had were a little forced or rushed. So I think it’s having a little more patience, switching a little bit more, having our movements be a little more synchronized. And so I think we’re looking to apply that for this next game and moving forward.”
The team will obviously be hoping for a better and more dominant performance during their next game against the Netherlands on Wednesday afternoon.
The United States Women’s National Team is going for its unprecedented third consecutive FIFA World Cup title this tournament. It’s clear they have the talent to do it, but they need to play up to their potential.
