The Alex Morgan Tea-Sipping World Cup Celebration Is the Ultimate Power Move

Just before halftime at Tuesday's 2019 World Cup semifinal match between the USA and England, co-captain Alex Morgan made waves by bringing the U.S. ahead 2-1 and breaking an early tie with her goal.

But Morgan's best move wasn't just burying the ball in the net. It was her celebratory gesture afterward: an exaggerated sip of tea that turned out to predict events to come.

Tea, of course, is that most traditional of British beverages.
