There can be no complaints about the USA beating England in the Women's World Cup Semi-Final last night, the best team by far won and they will probably go on to beat Sewden or Netherlands in the final but there has been some speculation over that Alex Morgan celebration.
When i saw her i first thought she was smoking a cigarette or puffing on a spliff which i thought was a bit inappropriate but i later found out she was mimicking drinking a cup of tea.
Seems obvious once you are told, us English do enjoy partaking of a cup of Rosy and i'm sure that had Steph Houghton decided to shoot and not just pass that penalty to the goalkeeper we may have been treated to her mimicking stuffing a supersized Cheeseburger into her gob but we will never know because she fluffed it.
Something which did become obvious about Alex Morgan though is that she isn't a tea drinker if that mime is anything to go by.
In the photographs she appears to be putting the handle to her lips, when surely it should be off to the side and tilted slightly.
Then again she might well have been smoking a doobie and it was a nod not towards us English as we thought but for the Dutch who they expect to meet in the final on Sunday.
The Netherland striker, Vivianne Miedema, better start practising her shooting things celebration just in case.
