If you missed the Alex Morgan Ted Lasso celebration from Saturday night, then you’re in luck.
Morgan and the Orlando Pride took down the North Carolina Courage 2-1 on the field and 1-0 in the celebration department. With the Pride leading 1-0 in a hotly contested game, Morgan gave her side breathing space with a cool finish in the 79th minute. The USWNT star then dazzled the audience with a celebration from Apple TV+ hit show “Ted Lasso.”
Another game, another goal for @alexmorgan13

This marks the second time this month that we’ve seen Ted Lasso shenanigans cross over into the real world. After the FA Cup final, the cast tricked a reporter into believing that Dani Rojas was a real soccer player.
We at The18 will keep a close eye to see if any more Lasso antics follows Morgan’s latest celebration. Fans on Twitter have requested more from the Pride forward.
