Alex Morgan Excluded from US Women's Soccer Olympic Roster: A Generational Shift?

US Women's Soccer Legend Alex Morgan Misses Out on Paris Olympics Roster

Alex Morgan, a US women's soccer legend and one of the most accomplished players in program history, has been left out of the 2024 Olympic roster. The news was announced by new head coach Emma Hayes on June 26, 2024.

Morgan, who turns 35 next week, is fifth on the US career scoring list with a total of 123 goals in her 224 appearances for the national team. She has been a member of two World Cups and one Olympic Games. Morgan co-captained the US squad during their successful campaign at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

However, with only 16 non-goalkeepers permitted in the Olympic roster, Hayes had to make some tough decisions. Morgan's recent form and production have been below her usual standards, which may have influenced her exclusion from the team.

The US women's soccer team will be undergoing a generational shift following the retirements of Megan Rapinoe and Julie Ertz last year. A number of young players have emerged in recent times, including Mallory Swanson, Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman, Jaedyn Shaw, and Catarina Macario.

The US women's soccer team will face Zambia, Germany, and Australia in the group stage of the Paris Olympics. The squad will be looking to add another medal to their impressive collection.

Alex Morgan left off USWNT’s 2024 Paris Olympic roster in seismic decision

The Fixing Site: A Summary of the Article. Steven Goff Wednesday, 26 June 2024 15:00
  • Unique Points
    • Alex Morgan was left off the USWNT Olympic roster by new coach Emma Hayes.
    • Morgan was not among the four roster alternates.
  • Accuracy
    • Morgan was not selected due to her recent production and positional versatility of other players.
    • Hayes opted for younger players with greater form and positional flexibility.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive due to selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author focuses on the fact that Alex Morgan was left off the Olympic roster, implying that it was an unfair decision. However, he fails to mention that Morgan's production has significantly declined in recent years and she is solely a striker, while Hayes opted for players in better form and offering greater positional versatility. The author also quotes Hayes stating 'It was a tough decision, of course, especially considering Alex’s history and record with this team.' This statement is emotionally manipulative as it implies that Morgan deserves to be on the team based on her past accomplishments rather than her current form. Additionally, the article states 'The London-born Hayes did not take the U.S. reins until completing her 12-year tenure at English club Chelsea FC last month.' This statement is selectively reported as it implies that Hayes had a long time to make this decision, but it fails to mention that she collaborated closely with interim coach Twila Kilgore on roster selections and tactical approaches during the six-month gap.
    • The London-born Hayes did not take the U.S. reins until completing her 12-year tenure at English club Chelsea FC last month.
    • But her production has fallen significantly in recent years, and with only 16 non-goalkeepers permitted at the Olympics, Hayes opted for players in better form and offering greater positional versatility.
    • The seismic decision comes amid a generational shift for the program following the retirements of Megan Rapinoe and Julie Ertz last fall and an influx of young players the past year.
    • It was a tough decision, of course, especially considering Alex’s history and record with this team.
