USA’s Alex Morgan pretended to drink tea after her goal against the English in a Women’s World Cup semi-final on Tuesday night.
The forward put her side back in front shortly after half an hour, scoring what turned out to be the winner in a hotly-contested clash.

The game was taking place two days before America’s Independence Day, on the anniversary of when independence from Britain was originally planned to be.
Noting the date, Morgan whipped out the celebration as she made the most of her time in the limelight.
The disrespect in the celebration, using our own tea drinking against us. Love it ☕️ #ENGUSA pic.twitter.com/UDG9Ej0Z1N
