Some of the responses to Alex Morgan being left off the Olympics roster are just amazing to me and not in a good way. Its' apparent that there are other players that would better fit an Emma Hayes team but to say Alex "sucks, or dont let the door hit you in the butt on your way out" is so immature and incredibly rude. Alex has been has been a role model to many young girls throughout her career as well as being instrumental in helping to make the NWSL become a a better place for all the players. She certainly doesn't deserve such disrespect. 23:13

100% the right choice. All this press talking about the shift & the tragedy of leaving Alex off the squad. This is how the shifts of football go, generations shift. She isn't the weapon she once was, Father Time & the setback on her form from Motherhood happened. She's been SO great for us over the years, thanks 100%, but is now just not as effective as she once was. If we want to win, if we want to stay competitive we had to move onto strikers who can score more consistently. Emma is a straight shooter & doesn't play into the hype or politics. It HAD to go this way.

The narcissism of the previous generation of players really is incredible. From Rapinoe publicly crucifying Korbin Albert, to Alex Morgan throwing a fuss on social media about not making the Olympic team. It’s almost like us critics actually know what we’re talking about….these players don’t care about the team at all, and that’s why the last Olympic & world cups were such colossal failures. A bunch of individuals trying to play a team sport. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. God bless Emma Hayes

I thought she would be skinner. How much does she weigh?

Lol, she's the best female player in the world. She should've been on the team.

We need more men in women sports 😂

Regardless of whether she deserves or doesn't deserve to be on the Olympic team, women's basketball is blowing the opportunity to get exposure like it never has before. For 4 decades, the WNBA has not been relevant, and its athletes have been complaining about wanting equal pay even though the league is not profitable. This is their chance to bring attention to their sport and just maybe turn that around.

How can this shit get any more pathetic?

Did you listen to Hayes’ interview on the day of the decision? She explained all of this and her reasons why

Right, and a convicted drug smuggler that is of dubious gender made the team.

Oh nooo did that dog run away ? 2:50

Il livello di premurosità e considerazione in questa comunità è davvero notevole. È stimolante.✨

Arguably Caitlin is as good or better than virtually every player on the Olympic team, but she brings some baggage with her that would be quite valuable to the US Olympic team. No one else on the Women's Basketball team and perhaps even the entire Olympic team will bring as much popularity and attention from the media and the public. This stupid decision probably means a difference of half the audience between what they will have and what they could have had.

Shes stunning ❤

Morgan's days are over. You can't play favorites in tournaments such as this.

Hello Claire. Emma prefers flexible to one trick ponies. You might watch some videos from Chelsea. Albert was always going to the Olympics after she was forced to apologize. Why do this otherwise? The distraction of pointing out she wore a rainbow number for Pride was typical of Emma. Also Albert plays club football in Paris. I can imagine French supporters cheering her to wind up US fans, though. Good luck US for Olympics. It feels like Emma has you back on track, but the real destination is the next World Cup. Note that England cannot just compete at the Olympics as they need to be Team GB by permission of the other three UK countries' FAs. It is not something that is a "thing" here and Emma is so English, however much she loves US. The World Cup is the only one that will fulfill her ambition and building for that is always going to be priority. Beverly Priestman, also English, won the Olympics with Canada, but it was not really in the news here in UK.

They should have brought up the youth movement years ago

Hello Claire. Emma's goal was always going to be looking forwards. It does not striker me as surprising. Would there be a penalty for missing you attacking for her decision?

Why take a headache like Albert.

We put the best on our team and she belongs there period, your feeling don’t matter.

Just now getting to this but Sam really thought having Rose and Sonnett on as guests at the same time wasn't going to go sideways???

Yes thank god! I can’t stand Alex Morgan. She’s been horrible for years. It’s pathetic just watching her play and that’s putting it nicely . A FORWARDS JOB IS TO SCORE AND SHE ABSOLUTELY NEVER DOES! Don’t even try with the “she drags defenders away from the other forwards” bullshit. Yes. They are supposed to do both Emma is an expert so if you disagree you’re just straight up wrong. Alex is gone for a reason. Because she sucks

Morgan > Albert

That is going to be the excuse if the do not medal

Love her

Not even a question. The only question was surrounding Staab vs Dunn.

Learn the lesson of Megan Rapinoe. It’s the Olympics, not the Women’s World Cup. To foster a future, better a little too early than a little too late.

Morgan should have been dropped a long time ago. She has not been effective in years. It would have been better to have used that time to help a younger player develop. Also, Rodman should not be on the roster. Rodman is not and never will be an international caliber player.

Alex is #5 on the all time scoring list, and #9 in assists. I think she would score a few more or help with a few more this summer on muscle memory alone. But if it's really all about the next World Cup, then yeah give young players the experience.

Well take Crystal Dunn off

Sorry but sad that AlexMorgan not on the roster.

Claire, good summary of some difficult decisions! I went back to look at your commentary of a few weeks ago, and copy/pasted my roster guesses. Well, I didn't do too bad (down to the alternates) and totally agree with those who felt that AM should not be selected. As a matter of fact, she should have retired 3 years ago after the Tokyo OG. My 18 players were: 1- Naeher, 2- Murphy, 3- Girma, 4- Davidson (reluctantly, just for the height), 5- Nighswonger, 6- Dunn, 7- Fox, 8- Coffey, 9- Albert (she played in the CL so she knows the German players in our group), 10- Yohannes, 11- Horan, 12-Macario, 13- Lavelle, 14- Shaw, 15- Swanson, 16- Smith, 17- Rodman, 18- Staab (Dunn can back up both Jenna and Emily). Backups in case of injury: a- Williams, b- Gaetino, c- Bethune, d- Hirshfeldt Given that Lily probably did not wish to be cap-tied yet, I would have selected Bethune and Staab instead of Sonnett and Krueger. No disrespect to Krueger's defensive acumen, but she's so bad with the ball at her feet that she will be pressed mercilessly by the opposing players. As to Sonnett, she's been a wasted roster spot for years now and I have no clue why no coach would admit it. Finally, the minimizing of Korbin's talent is nothing short of insulting. She reached the CL semifinals this year with PSG, and by now has very good knowledge of our French and German opponents. She's very athletic and will play when Emma switches to a double pivot with Coffey. Given that our first opponent is Zambia (i.e. vs Banda and Kundananji), our midfield will certainly be a double pivot with Horan to minimize the open spaces available to those 2 very fast and skilled Zambian forwards. A double pivot is also likely against Germany in the group stage. I'm glad that Emma has rejected the Pinoe cultists' wishes to bury a 20-yr old who made a social media mistake. This after all is a sports team, not a political movement. My expectations are that we have the 2nd best 11 behind Spain, but that we are much deeper than Spain. I would be disappointed if we finish below silver medal.

There's zero benefit in taking Morgan to the Olympics, and i'm glad Emma knew that. Whatever Morgan can do, there are players that can do that better on this roster.

Rose is special! She can dribble, and pounce a ball! She can get in small pockets too. I hope a speedy recovery for Piece ❤️

Whoever makes the team I sure hope they respect the American flag and the National anthem. No player should be allowed on the team that doesn't. After all it is called the USWNT for a reason. Many of the other National teams sing their anthems with heart felt emotions. These are the type of players that should be representing their countries in the Olympics.

*where that A’ja video yall deleted 🤔, yeah ok*

Croix is well on her way to achieve her goals. If she keeps up the great play I have seen, I am sure she will be playing in the next world cup. Best wishes for her to stay healthy and injury free.

🎉🎉🎉 Croix and the Spirit

Dominate? ROK has a FIFA ranking of #20. We shouldn't even by playing anyone below #12.

Here own dad says she is 6' 5" ua-cam.com/video/lomofadyxZw/v-deo.html

In 1980 the United States Hockey team was composed mostly of amateur players, with only four players with minimal minor-league experience. The United States had the youngest team in the tournament and in U.S. national team history. The WNBA has a player who has ignited the imagination of the fans for whatever reason - something the current player roster has not been able to do for 20+ years. The WNBA players must get over themselves, put their petty jealousies away, and seize the opportunity presented. Just stop being hoodrats - and start being team players.

No. She should be part of it…. She is without a doubt, the most watched and loved woman basketball player in the country in all of history.. why wouldn’t that alone, qualify her to represent the country in the Olympics ? That alone qualifies her… it just does ,,

I support BIOLOGICAL women in women's sports, aka Adult Human Females...

Stop it already. You know she is over qualified.

Brittany shouldnt be on the team. Not saying caitlyn should be. Just Brittany shouldnt be because of her nonsense to put the USA in danger due to the release of a Russian arms dealer.

Passionate about sandwiches.

Men don't lie about their height.... But Cameron Brink sure does 😂

You shouldn't measure peoples height whilst they are wearing shoes. Normal trainers will add an inch or even an inch and a half.
