‘I’m really f****** proud of you, Alex Morgan’ – Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner praises USWNT star’s tea-sipping homage

American forward revealed her controversial celebration was inspired by the English actress, who hit out at the “haters”

Count Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner among those not offended by Alex Morgan’s tea-sipping celebration against England, instead coming to the forward’s defence by calling out ‘haters’.

United States captain Morgan’s reaction to her Women’s World Cup semi-final winner against the Lionesses on Tuesday sparked outrage, with England international Lianne Sanderson among those critical.

Some saw it as a shot against the English, where the hot beverage has links to American independence after colonists dumped a shipment in the sea in an event known as the Boston Tea Party.
