Bill Simmons torches Alex Morgan after World Cup flop: ‘Not a superstar’
After the USWNT was eliminated by Sweden in the round of 16 in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, Simmons diagnosed the issues earlier this weekHe began by saying that “you could feel from the beginning that something was off” with the USWNT, that there were “red flags galore,” and that Carli Lloyd was the only person calling them out as the “one person in the horror movie who knows the house is haunted.
He bemoaned that the team was “latching onto” Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe as opposed to up-and-coming players such as Trinity Rodman and Alyssa Thompson. “If you take away that Thailand game, she’s scored two goals in the last 17 World Cup games. This is the striker, the one that’s supposed to be the most dangerous player on the field, who’s supposed to produce goals. And she hasn’t produced goals since the mid-2010’s on the national level, and yet it’s ‘Alex Morgan, she was supposed to be the next one, we’ve gotta keep propping her up and pretending she’s a superstar.’“She’s not a superstar. She’s really never been a superstar.
