Alex Morgan had an eventful sequence on her 30th birthday during the U.S. Women's National Team's semifinal match vs. England at the World Cup.
In the 30th minute, Morgan scored the second goal for the U.S. on a beautiful header set up by Lindsey Horan.
After Morgan buried the ball, she celebrated by pretending to sip a cup of tea - a relevant goal celebration against England, particularly so close to July 4, U.S. Independence Day.
Moments later, as play continued, the U.S.-heavy crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to Morgan.
Twitter loved Morgan's celebration.
With the goal, Morgan moved back into the lead for the Golden Boot and scored her first goal since Team USA's opening rout of Thailand.
