She's the Anna Kournikova for the game. Sex sells.

To be fair though, she is a phenomenal soccer player!

Wait, that chick is the "sexy" one?

Except, you know - Morgan's actually won something. :plat:

She's probably (historically) the most well-known player on the women's team and maybe was already signed (or in talks) before Lloyd's performance at the women's World Cup.

Wait, that chick is the "sexy" one?Alex Morgan is gorgeous. That cover photo is not representative.

Alex Morgan is gorgeous. That cover photo is not representative.

I'll take your word for it. I know a lot of people clean up well when not looking fresh from practice. That cover makes her look like a grown up Icebox from Little Giants.

Abby Wambach might disagree with you but this is where the "sex sells" tends to rear it's head.

Speaking of grownup Icebox. Might want to google search the actor (shawna waldron). Icebox turned out, well you can see for yourself.
