In what has become a theme throughout this World Cup for the defending champions, critics are once again complaining that the American athletes were too celebratory about winning.

This time around, it was a goal scored by captain Alex Morgan in the semifinal match against England Tuesday.

"I wish I was on the pitch to put in a tackle," former English captain Faye White put it more bluntly on"Good Morning Britain." DEAR ENGLISH PEOPLE GETTING UPSET OVER ALEX MORGAN'S GOAL CELEBRATION, YOU DON'T OWN TEA. YOU STOLE IT FROM PLACES YOU COLONIZED.THANKS.For her part, Morgan, who also celebrated her 30th birthday Tuesday, had her tea and sipped it, too.

... short of be-heading the losing team, celebrating a well fought competition is a winner’s right...

I assume those critics were never in the World Cup of anything! Some were also probably coaching the ladies from their couches and telling them what they did wrong on the field. Good luck USWNT

Its a form of “in your face” manner of celebration. By doing so they open themselves to criticism. The US team is by far dominant but this act won’t be forgotten so there will be a comeuppance, hope they can take it when that time comes.

The world is so sensitive now it’s disgusting!!

Helmets with Facemasks...….your beautiful Brain needs protection as well as you beautiful face.

Boofuckinghoo

Stop whining

This US team is a disgrace! Poor representation of our country!

NoClass

I hope they lose and their unpatriotic attitudes too

Fake news

Why are PEOPLE making a big deal out of the USA Soccer Team celebrations that's a big accomplishment for team USA so please stop with the 😭😭😭😭

Especially when it’s American female athletes celebrating. alexmorgan13

What is so unsportsmanlike? She did the tea sip. Y'all didn't see me in my living room like this:

They act like every athlete these days spoiled rich kids with really no value to mankind. Who needs them what they really do or they are is entertainers

Nobody cares

I can't believe anyone is still talking about this

Celebrating is the best moment in any sport!

By the new standards of politically correctness if you win, you need to be ashame of yourself for not letting the oponent win, and he should feel aliviated that you are not celebrating. WT VERY F!!!

They showed no class a very America tradition

Celebrate...celebrate...dance to the music

on Sunday, the Dutch will demolish Megan Rapinoe and her team slowly but surely...

The news shouldn’t blow up these stories into bigger ones. These are fierce competitors. Compared to men this is such a nothing thing.

Screw the critics. Not news move on

Never trust woman who kick balls !!!

At least Coco Gauff is winning with class and has the full support of America behind her.

Their winning and celebrating is bringing them attention and viewership, they work just as hard as any other team, they deserve equality, let them celebrate.

It was classless.

I'm English l thought it was a joint because no one l know drinks tea like that is this all you can come up how about keeping up with your fake news England dosen't care that was last Tuesday

This team does not have 1% of the class that the 1999 team had.

Well the Brits lost. Twice.

In what's becoming a theme in the world.....everyone needs to toughen up and shut up. Quit whining and start winning. Go USA!

Are they still playing?

Eyerolling hard enough to make them fall out right now.

I'm English, The US Women won a great game. Whoever said they should not celebrate need to grow up. Had we won I would have been celebrating with 11 million in the UK, our highest tv audience of the year.

we cannot ever have nice fucking things

They are too celebratory, but, and it’s a huge but, there standing up to billiondollarloser so I can ignore the celebrations. These women have bigger spines than the gop.

It’s just part of soccer.. if there were no riots in the stands here then it’s not serious

Are they supposed to NOT celebrate? Absurd

Well you gotta win to celebrate.

It’s all about themselves, they hate America.

If you're not winning, you're losing. There's no shame in winning.

Jealous a tad?

The USWNT needs to represent us in the place of the USMNT. I have said it before and will say it again. How did a nation be so doomed when it comes to men's soccer and be so successful and talented when it comes to our girls?!!!!

...for GIRLS. 🤦🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♀️

I thought it was great. Everyone is looking for a villain. US women's soccer is a disrespectful bully. Come and get em!

I thought Alex Morgan pretending to sip tea was funny.

I am a brit they won so celebrate.

Where is the coach in all this mess Perhaps shes as classless as the rest of these bimbos. Quit embarrassing our country on a global stage!

It is a dissing shootout. Everyone is locked and loaded. You either go away with exaggerated butt hurt or busting with false pride. The media blows it all out of perspective and proportion, and the politicians use it push an ulterior agenda, while pretending to give a damn.

TOO BAD! It’s ok for everyone else

Screw the critics.

That's tha hold point..everyone at home we're doing same thing jumping up and down ..and i was by myself lol...Hehehehehe...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍...now go for tha kill..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸on Sunday..🙏🙏🙏

The British practically invented soccer riots.

Go Netherlands!!!

ABC no one cares about the celebration it's what athletes do move on oh by the way how about mentioning the us men's soccer team they are in the gold cup finals

Show me the who? 5 tweets? 10 tweets? Probably 1% but you need clicks.

It wasn’t there cup of tea 😂

They are so arrogant. They are an embarrassment to our country. I really hope they lose. They do not represent most Americans.

Sore losers. I have never heard anything like that about any other national team winning and celebrating.

It’s okay for the men to run around shirtless celebrating after scoring a goal. But when the ladies do some type of celebration they get criticized so bad.

Bunch of snowflakes, get over it! Futbol

Unsportsmanlike bitches setting a bad example!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

And so are they supposed to be sad for winning?

Morgan didn’t celebrate her goal with the tea sip, she mocked her opponent. It was classless.

Coming from the people that start fires and riots over soccer?

We have parties every July 4th to celebrate beating them

BurtonABC7 Tell them to get over it

I think they’re just upset because our women’s team is so awesome and winning...imo.

The women deserve to celebrate. There would be no outcry for men celebrating!

Next time they beat the British they should celebrate with fireworks, parades, and national holidays.

Critics have never won anything. They don’t understand what celebrating is

Bite me Let THESE women CELEBRATE

It was rather classless and unnecessary.

Tell them to grow a backbone. I’m sick of the Brits complaints. The team has every right to celebrate. Tell the Brits to concentrate on Brexit. Let me continue to sip on my Tea.

Party on girls! You desrve it! We live in a world that has gone “soft” and thin skinned!

The woman on the right has a developing spinal issue....she should not have a back hunch like that at her age...

What is with this culture of apologizing? I will not apologize for celebrating, for being an American, for being anything. Sick of everyone being offended. Get over it

Meanwhile.....American snowflakes are wetting their panties over tanks and planes in an Independence Day celebration.

It was just confusing. Not my cup of tea.

Hope they survive.

This a game damn it! Stop having fun!

What do they expect from the descendants of cocky colonists that started a war over tax on tea without representation. By the way, they won that war. Tea anyone?😊🇺🇸

I thought she was miming smoking a joint honestly

A reminder to the critics: jealousy will kill you.

Not allowed to criticize them for celebrating. Because They are supporting gay rights

They aren't respected, wonder why?

They don’t play for America they are playing for themselves

Yes and No if the beat them and going world finals. They should be happy and proud. No when beat one team 13-0 nothing they were acting like bitches 👿

Competition is wat drives industries to flourish ppl to innovate new technologies geneticists to cure diseases to create medicine to cure shit. Stop being panziez

How snow flakey is that. When does everyone become so sensitive and childish that they cant handle a celebration. It's one thing to celebrate in a way to make the other team feel like shit it's a whole other to celebrate in general. It's on par with participation trophies.

Seriously?! Grow up and show some sportsmanship!!!!!!

I want to root for them, but they are all so entitled and unlikable.

Eres grande Alex Morgan 👍👍👍👍

Jajajaja

What? It's ok that football players dance a gig or what ever they're doing when they score but these winners supposed to quietly leave the field. Leading by example, well their example all over TV all year around.... says dance a gig... lmao go go go but not to a White House show

Yes, unlike male athletes who puppy pile each other, push pies in each other's faces, pour champagne down each other's shirts, and yell and scream like maniacs after an important victory. How dare these young women celebrate their prowess and confidence?

This is so stupid. Male athletes celebrate all the time including mocking their opponents. These women do it, and everyone scrutinizes them.

Oh, come on now! No one meant to offend the Brits who are our friends and allies. I LOVE the way they bring out the Trump baby balloon for his visits. They share our dislike of Trump and are supporting us through this difficult time. Stay calm and drink tea together!

They weren't celebratory, they were mocking the Brits. There's a difference for those who don't seem to understand.

Get it ladies! ✊🏼🇺🇸

Womp womp

What’s the point of playing if you cannot relish in victory. And... if the other team actually won , there would be no complaints.

Come on, they should be happy and celebrate! What nonsense, what? They should be subdued? That’s just stupid!

I’m sorry that we are whooping your asses at a sport that we give zero shits about. I don’t know, maybe get better goalies?

Ladies, celebrate. Nobody of substance is bothered by it.

Says people who are used to losing.

Then perhaps the other coaches should coach better.

It is always rude to mock your opponents, a sign of poor sportsmanship.

the whole world is not happy. but don't expect much more from americans. supposed to shake hands after match , not gloat and insult

When did England's Women Soccer team equate to all Brits? Congrats to US soccer, celebrate when you win, but really US media must do better.

Did they say BY JOVE and faint

Arrogant and unsportsmanlike.

Beat em then

They’re kinda acting like dicks

They can take their complaints and shove them.

Maybe she was smoking.

Too celebratory? Is there a chart we're supposed to follow? 😕 Beyond Trump, his sychophants, and his followers, this was some dumb shit!😝

Well....don't lose then.

When the US lost to Norway in the final and the Norwegians celebrated as they should , the women’s team were pissed and whined about it everywhere ...

Tough

The anti-American rhetoric is pathetic and sad.

shame on US team

Just say it ——— Whiny Canadians.

3x World Cup champs can celebrate any damn way they want. If other teams don’t like it, they need to improve their game. USWNT

Oh please!

I can't wait to see the complaints when they win it all and then they all take off their jerseys! Well...minus the 'complaints' part. 😁

I am in no way interested in the women's US soccer team due to their anti American acts, but celebrating a victory is what you are supposed to do. Without the celebration of winning, what is the point in playing the game? Stop the everyone gets a trophy mentality.

Let the ladies celebrate. They've earned it.

Sour grapes.

It’s not Anti-Americanism, it’s Sexism.... You’d think the Men who score or win in the FIFAWorldCup were performing for the Bolshoi on the field! USWNT

It was a lot better than that ignorant blonde that wouldn't put her hand on her heart against the USA. The teacup was actually pretty funny.

It may be a tit for tat, except it would be nice to show some humility.

Interesting how other national and club teams can do these things but you don't hear a peep of protest from anyone.

Does it realllly cause Brits to freak out though 🙄

There gay, literally ‼️

This is a part of sports. From kids to adults from the playground to professionals! Go be offended by something else

Hope they survive.

The tea cup antic was ugly and unsportsmanlike. Disrespecting both the game and the opposition.

WOW....Ladies just got to wear helmets with facemasks to protect those beautiful faces and prevent concussions. 🇺🇸

Bullshit. No one but the media cares.

winner takes all.

Pot calling the kettle black

Yeah losers say things like that

How dare they enjoy goals/winning after putting their whole lives into the sport for moments like these in the World Cup while being under paid. Cheeky fun is all it is.

Lol never seen an article when the guys of an NFL team celebrate a win and then others complain about their celebrating it. It’s only an issue because women celebrating prowess is seen as arrogance. I also think this is pretty contrived bullshit

You people complaining are soft as newborn baby shit. You don’t want them to celebrate, don’t let them score.

Trump was proud of the insult to our ally. It’s exactly something he would’ve done.

that's pretty funny coming from the country that spawned drunken, idiotic football (soccer) hooligans. i say this with love, as i am 50% english.

They should learn things from baseball players.

Eres grande Alex Morgan👍👍👍

'I believe that condition is colloquially known as Sour Grapes, Your Excellency.'

I really doubt they are freakin out, they are great at taking the piss.

It was a classless move

I too believe these celebrations are over the top and smack of arrogance, but I saw the highlights and both teams were guilty of it. It’s a new day in acceptable sportsmanship I guess. I first started noticing it in Swedish national hockey teams a few years ago. Disappointing.

Too celebratory? What's that?

WAAAAAAAH!!! Y'all want some AMERICAN cheese with that whine?

JUST A LITTLE PRIDE

Or we could just stop caring what sportsball players say and do and focus on actual meaningful problems.

I think she should have picked up a case of tea and thrown it overboard... lighten up everyone... it was a funny goal celebration.

When do the men play?

So what should the American soccer athletes do? Cry for winning? Let them celebrate in whatever way they see fit. Give the ladies a break!!

So what should the American soccer athletes do? Cry for winning? Give the ladies a break!!

Well it is a important topic somebody needs to bring it to attention

All these women are strong a beautiful 🥰🥰😍

😂 😂 😂

Hey Critics...

I don't think we were that upset by the celebrations, like every nation we have a demographic that takes themselves far too seriously. But on the whole, good luck to the winners

No body in the world cares about her celebration it’s just media making the fuss up to cover the fact the England lost

Fuck “critics”!!! This is the best team in the history of the game!!! They can do all the theatrics they like...

One issue may be that the team seems to be joining the modern sports trend of politicizing everything, seeing themselves as revolutionaries in a way that alienates sports fans. The 1992 Olympic basketball dream team, notorious as they were for oversized egoes, were more grounded.

Nothing wrong with that, welcome to football life.

औरंगजेब एवं अन्य क्रूर शासको के धार्मिक स्थल तोड़ने, उनका धन लूटने का क्रम जो किया गया उसकी पुनरबृत्ति आज़ाद भारत मे ना हो इसके लिये धार्मिक स्थल संरक्षण बिल पारित हो।

Which Brits ACTUALLY freaked out about this? The only thing even vaguely upsetting was that alexmorgan13 didn’t hold the cup correctly...

Too bad.

Remember, everybody gets a participation trophy.

Play your sport and shut up. Stop with the politics
