Facing Argentina in the final of the 2021 SheBelieves Cup, Morgan scored her first international goal since the arrival of her daughter Charlie Elena Carrasco last May. The goal made it 5-0 for the U.S. in the final stretch of a one-sided match, but it was still impressive from the USWNT star:
Entering the SheBelieves Cup, Morgan had appeared in just one USWNT friendly since the arrival of her daughter, though she also made some club appearances with Tottenham Hotspur.
