Alex Morgan EXTENDED CUT: 'Head-to-Toe Goal Highlights v. CAN' - 11-9-17

Relive the best moments of USWNT star striker, Alex Morgan’s “head-to-toe” goal (her 79th career international tally) versus Canada to put Team USA up 1-0 in the 31st minute of an eventual 1-1 draw during a November 9th, 2017 international friendly held in front of a sellout crowd of 28,017 fans at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Morgan had a chance to take the lead for the U.S. in the 76th minute, but her two attempts right in front of net were blocked by Janine Beckie. Next, the “Gals” will conclude their 2017 schedule with the second match of the two-game set on Sunday, November 12th, 2017 to be held on home soil at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California. Additional footage includes Instagram (“IG”) Story video and Morgan’s post-match reaction interview comments to ESPN broadcasters, Ian Darke and Julie Foudy.

the goal is truly magical! The view from behind shows her Finessing the ball two, maybe three times with flicks of her head to get it where she wants it to shoot!! WOW! I think one of the best goals in history against a great team.

Love the post game interview.  Morgan is clear, the problem with the team is Ellis.  "Chemistry, we've had so many different starting 11s, we need to gel and know what to expect from each other, and we need to improve."  Question is, can that happen with Ellis as head coach?
