'Wah, wah, wah': Megan Rapinoe dismisses criticism of Alex Morgan's 'tea' celebration
Megan Rapinoe has dismissed criticism of United States teammate Alex Morgan's 'tea cup' goal celebration during their 2-1 Women's World Cup semi-final win over England. After scoring the decisive third goal of the match for the US, Morgan pantomimed taking a sip of tea and was criticised by some football fans for 'disrespecting their opponents'. Rapinoe, who missed the match with a minor hamstring strain, said: 'We have the utmost respect for England and every team that we've faced and every team that we will face forever and ever. That's just part of the DNA of the squad.' She added that she believes she will be fit for the final against the Netherlands on Sunday.
