Do you know what minute that goal occurred in, Lori Lindsay?
13th minute.
Now that might have pushed Alex's departure back to the 14th minute,
but I think she'll take the goal.
That's the way she has always been.
Team before self, and now some final hugs as this moment will be one she will remember
and all of these fans will remember for a long, long time.
Hands at captain's armband over and a big hug to her goalkeeper, Kaelin Sheridan.
She's going to take the boots off right there.
Hang them up.
Oh, incredible emotion as Alex Morgan lets it all sink in.
Appears to certainly be trying to hold it together,
but look, this is a woman who has been open, honest, vulnerable.
She's been an athlete, an ally, an advocate,
and as someone for so long who has been the face of this sport,
perhaps more importantly, she has also been its voice.
We join the rest of the crowd as Alex walks off,
and we say thank you, Alex, for all you've done.
The dreams that Alex has provided for her daughter, Charlie,
and every little girl watching, every woman watching,
if they wonder, can I come back and compete at the highest level?
As a mom, you better believe you can.
You wonder just how much Charlie understands what's happening.
I remember thinking that too, Lori, when you and I were both there in Washington, D.C.,
when that historic moment happened,
that equal pay was finally brought to the U.S. women's team.
