Throughout the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, it’s become very clear that teams across the world no longer fear the United States Women’s National Team the way they once did. But USWNT superstar Alex Morgan still thinks that the team has the mentality of a championship squad.

During a recent interview with Fox Sports, Alex Morgan acknowledged that the team probably isn’t feared the way it has been during previous tournaments, but claimed that the team was still “completely ruthless.”

“At the end of the day, I think that this team is completely ruthless,” Morgan said. “I think this team is relentless in our pursuit for being the best and wanting to continue to be No. 1 and bring home trophies.”

And she had a pretty bold message for any team that thinks they’re going to stand between the United States and a championship.

“But trust me,” Morgan told FOX Sports. “When you get to a World Cup or an Olympics, this team has always been that nothing is going to stand in our way and if it does, we’re going to make sure that we die trying.”

We’ll have to see if Morgan and the USWNT can live up to those bold words during this week’s showdown with Sweden.
