Let's get real. You already know all about Alex Morgan.

Last summer, Morgan scored two goals during the United States' run to the Women's World Cup final in Germany. And earlier this month, the 22-year-old appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue wearing nothing besides strategically placed body paint.

But did you know she dates a footballer? It's true: She met her boyfriend, MLS goalie Servando Carrasco, during her freshman year at the University of California.

And, yes. If you think we looked long and hard to find an excuse to make Morgan our World Football WAG of the Week, you're right.

Early Life

According to her official website, Morgan started playing club soccer at age 14. Just to make you feel really, really old, that would have been in the year 2003.

After high school, Morgan played college soccer at the University of California, which is also known as UC-Berkeley. She scored 45 goals from 2007-10.

International Breakthrough

Morgan won her first cap for the USWNT in March 2010. She came on as a substitute in a 1-0 victory over Mexico.

She scored her first international goal in October 2010 and in 2011 became the youngest member of the American squad for the Women's World Cup.

Olympic Committee

This picture comes from a United States Olympic Committee photoshoot. The theme, of course, was the 2012 London Olympics.

This photo is significant for a couple of reasons. For one, it's the first time anyone has ever looked sexy in that hat. And secondly, the London Olympics just received hundreds of new ticket orders.
