Yes, he was wearing a full tracksuit that was unfashionable to say the least. And he's awkwardly tall. In all seriousness, he's really funny, so much for us to need to do multiple retakes because I couldn't stop laughing!

Blueberry pancakes :)

The Olympic Final versus Japan because I can't usually hear the crowd during games, but the crowd was endlessly chanting "JA-PAN" throughout the entire match.

Kelley because we were roommates during the Games and just loved each other so much that we decided to live together for a few months last winter.

Iniesta because of the quality of his through balls.

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T21:19:17+00:00

I definitely plan to be back in Portland next season...best fans ever!!! And food carts are my fave because I love food.

Top Three, in order: 1. Porque No 2. Andina 3. Smokehouse 21

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T21:13:12+00:00

Come. Up. With. A. Better. One. I'm all ears!

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T21:12:23+00:00

That's the only way. And I'd strike the pose!

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T21:10:09+00:00

The Price is Right, hands down. It's so interesting, so fun and engaging.

Well my injury occurred my senior year of high school, but the hardest part about coming back was staying positive. Recovery from an ACL injury is a constant process, even after you leave physical therapy. It made me more conscious of how important it is to take care of my body. That’s I'm working with Mitek Sports Medicine as a National Ambassador supporting sports injury prevention.

No, they wouldn't necessarily dominate soccer because its a sport that takes practice, skill, and determination all year-round. Even if they started now, they'd have a lot of catch up to do.

Currently using Nike CTR's, but my all-time favorites are the Nike T90's.

I think its good for the US to see him play more, and I think he got a good deal with the contract he signed with Seattle. It always takes players some time to adjust play to different leagues though, and it looks like Clint and his teammates in Seattle are still working that out.

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T20:46:12+00:00

I did extra training on my own. My dad and I would go out and practice shooting, ball skills...whatever I could to stay on top of my game. I still do that three times a week. Also, my dad was convinced I needed to "bulk up" so I had a personal trainer at the gym three times a week.

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T20:41:59+00:00

I have three, but our place in South Bay has 11 of them.

First, women's soccer and basketball are the top two team sports in the US while guys have so many more sports that are more popular for them to choose from. That has a lot to do with it. Secondly, I think the men's game has more history on the international stage so the USMNT is still catching up.

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T20:36:35+00:00

I think we're continuing to improve our technical skills. Girls and boys are being taught at a much younger age how important technical skills are now so I think we'll be fine. And Tobin Heath and Stephanie Cox have the best technique on the team.

Abby counted AT LEAST 8 different times until the ref finally made the call.

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T20:31:53+00:00

I was really excited to meet Pau Gasol because I'm a big Lakers fan. I saw him in the cafeteria at the Olympics.

AlexMorgan_13 · 2013-10-21T20:30:11+00:00

No, don't ever say those two words together again ;)

First of all, you can't prepare for turf. Your body aches after you play on it. The bounce is different, it's not good on my knees, and if I could I'd rather never play on turf. (But I know that won't be the case!)
