Wow. Wow. Wow. Alex Morgan is in the headlines, again!
(via release)
Seattle Sounders Women have signed US Women's National Team forward Alex Morgan pending official
USSF/CSA approval, the team announced today.
"Alex is a world class player who has proven herself well beyond her 22 years.
Abby Wambach will have a new title at the London Games.
Coach Pia Sundhage recently named the 31-year-old Wambach a co-captain of the U.S. women's
soccer team- or essentially the vice-captain to team leader Christie Rampone.
It makes sense, given that the dominant striker was already the team's go-to spokeswoman and
vocal locker room leader.

If you' re any sort of women's soccer fan, you know about Alex Morgan.
The 22-year-old wunderkind, known as the "super sub" during the Women's World Cup last summer
and in the recent CONCACAF Olympic qualifying matches, has a nose for the goal. The former Cal
soccer star has also been noted for her amazing mix of strength and beauty which makes her the
epitome of Pretty Tough.
I love playing sports for a long list of reasons, but I especially love sports because they
help define who we are:
- Sports give you confidence.
- Sports give you strength.
- Sports give you a voice (hence, the nickname Loudy Foudy). :)
- Sports teach teamwork and leadership.
