Did England overreact to Alex Morgan’s goal celebration?

France: It was a win and move on as the US Women’s National team took on England in the Semifinals of the FIFA women’s World Cup. With the game tied at 1 in the 31st minute, Alex Morgan would score what turned out to be the game winner as the USA took down England 2-1.

As Morgan celebrated, she mocked the England team by pretending to sip tea in with her pinky up just like how they do in England.

There are some people are saying that Alex Morgan was doing something else with the goal celebration;

How the fuck is Alex Morgan’s “sipping tea” celebration distasteful? We’re a nation of pisstakers, we call each other cunts for a laugh, the majority of the UK prides itself on “banter” but when an American footballer sips tea after scoring we all cry on Twitter. Lighten up ffs.

For those who are saying that the goal celebration had to do with smoking marijuana, it had nothing to do with that, you have misinterpreted the entire thing.  She was clearly drinking tea.

The USA will now get ready for the World Cup Final on Sunday, July 7 at 10 AM on FOX.
