Morgan and the defending World Cup champions are in Mexico preparing for a showdown with rival Canada on Monday night in the title match of the CONCACAF W Championship. “Alex has World Cup medals, Olympic medals. It’s something that she’s very, very good at, obviously, winning,” current U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski said. “But also passing on the experience to some of the players that have never been in a situation like this, competing for first place and grinding out a win, or being able to win big tournaments.”
Morgan saw the video and sent Luca an autographed jersey. Then Luca met his favorite player following the match against Haiti. An investigation this week by The Sports Network detailed a controversial agreement between Canada Soccer and Canada Soccer Business, which oversees the federation’s media rights and sponsorship deals as both the men’s and women’s teams seek better and more equitable pay.
One of the sticking points was the $10 million in FIFA bonus money the men’s team earned by qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1986. Canada’s national teams believe they are entitled to a share of the bonus.
