United States crushed Ireland, 5-0, thanks to a superduper hat trick performed by none other than Olympic gold, Alex Morgan.
“We’ve been waiting and itching to get out there on the field, I think (this) showed that we wanted to get out there and play. I just wanted to keep taking shots and they kept going my way. Abby and everyone just kept saying ‘Shoot! Shoot! It’s a slick surface!’ So I did. I was feeling it.” Alex said after the victory.

“Every time she touched the ball something dangerous happened,” Acting U.S. coach Jill Ellis said.
