The US women’s national soccer team picked up right where it left off at the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday.
Alex Morgan scored the first goal of the 2019 World Cup for the US with a beautiful header in the 12th minute.

Morgan is arguably the US team’s most popular player, so it was appropriate that she got the scoring started.
