US Women's Soccer Star Alex Morgan Dubbed "The Fox in the Box"
The Olympics have kicked off. Praise all that is good because we are about to see and hear so many brilliant things, as we did with Arlo White's beautiful call of an Alex Morgan goal Wednesday.
Americans hungry for Olympic competition tuned into a crazy match opening group play and saw France take on a dreamy side in the US.
France showed they could be just as imposing, going up 2-0 quickly, but it was all US of A after that. The first goal from Morgan in the 32nd minute was pure grace under pressure, a pirouette with a devastating touch to hit home the goal.

The final goal of the match, Morgan's second, was memorable for a different reason altogether. BuzzFeed was aware and caught the brilliant moment, complete with call from Arlo White.
You heard right, Morgan is the "fox in the box."
Those uninitiated might see more than just an old soccer phrase to label a cunning predator that lurks within 18 yards of the goal.
That is certainly Morgan, who seems to be ready to feast up top, being the spry fox to Abby Wambach's more imposing and sizable figure.
Still, this saying gets new life with Morgan, who looks to be a lock for the superstar goal scorer in these Olympic games.
If so, we will hear a great deal more about this fox roaming in the scoring area.
