British TV analyst rips Alex Morgan for 'distasteful' World Cup goal celebration
Alex Morgan celebrated her 30th birthday on Tuesday by scoring the game-winning goal in the USWNT’s 2-1 semifinal victory over England.

Lianne Sanderson, a former player on the England national team who plays for Juventus and is working as a TV analyst during the World Cup, wasn’t impressed with Morgan’s celebration, calling it “distasteful” because drinking tea is a big thing in England.
