Last week, the U.S. team forward kicked the winning goal to beat England 2-1 and help the United States reach the World Cup final, which is on Sunday. Forward Alex Morgan<\/strong> then ran to the sideline and pretended to sip an imaginary cup of tea, sparking online memes and criticism of alleged poor sportsmanship.

The actress later defended and praised her<\/a>.<\/p>\n
