U.S. Soccer Star Alex Morgan Taunts England With Tea Cup Goal Celebration, Twitter Revels
U.S. Women’s soccer team forward Alex Morgan scored a goal against England on her 30th birthday to put her squad up 2-1 in Tuesday’s World Cup semifinal match. Then, pinkies up, she mockingly sipped tea in a hand motion to stick it to the Brits.
Twitter loved it. Here are some of the reactions:

If you’re going to be known for being into tea you can’t get mad when people make fun of you for being into tea.

Clearly, it worked. The British are fuming:
That’s NOT how you sip tea. https://t.co/GAmQ1urom0
