ORLANDO, Fla. — As Orlando Pride forward Alex Morgan took the mic in Lion’s Pride on Tuesday night, there was only way she could think to address the crowd — a song.
“We got four stars on our shirt, we got four stars on our shirt.”
Morgan sang the tune out, and the crowd roared in response, joining along immediately.
The song had become a rallying cry in the raucous week since the U.S. won its fourth World Cup. On Tuesday night, 500 fans who filled the bar to welcome Morgan and her American teammates Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris back to Orlando couldn’t get enough of it.
