Alex Morgan hasn't scored for the U.S. women's national team in nearly nine months, but the underlying numbers suggest she is still playing a key role
In the history of the U.S. women's national team, there are only four players that have scored more goals than Alex Morgan: Abby Wambach, Mia Hamm, Carli Lloyd and Kristine Lilly. It's essentially a Mount Rushmore of American soccer, four legitimate icons of the women's game with lasting legacies and piles of trophies.
Morgan, for sure, has earned that sort of distinction as well. She's right up there at that level, having earned her place as one of the most dominant goalscorers the U.S. has ever seen. But that brings us to the here and now in 2023. Morgan and the USWNT are preparing for the 2024 Olympics as this team and program will look to put a disappointing World Cup behind them. It was a historic tournament for all the wrong reasons, as the U.S. crashed out in the last 16. It was also a disappointing tournament for Morgan, who failed to score during her time Down Under.That scoreless streak has extended into the post-World Cup friendlies. In fact, it dates all the way back to February.
