USA vs. Canada: Alex Morgan Will Lead Americans to New Golden Era

The U.S. Women's National team that won over the entire nation during the 2011 Women's World Cup will be back in action today as they take on North American rival Canada.

Everyone is excited to see Christine Rampone, Hope Solo and Abby Wambach, but it is clear that all eyes are going to be fixated on emerging superstar Alex Morgan.

Morgan is the face of the new era of the Women's National Team. She's was the youngest member of the World Cup team and has the raw talent to become the new face of the women's soccer.

The 2011 Women's World Cup put women's soccer on the map in the United States in a way that not even the dominant Mia Hamm teams were able to do.

Canada has a different task in front of them. They are playing host to the 2015 Women's World Cup, and after embarrassing themselves at the previous Women's World Cup, they need all the momentum they can gather over the next four years.

Canada faces quite the challenge in taking down such a promising U.S. team. After disappointing in the group stages at the Women's World Cup, they could use a big victory over one of the most highly-touted teams in the world.

The star-laden lineup of the US and the challenge the Canadians are presented with makes this match must-see television. Slowly but surely, staples of the team are fading out of the picture.

As the Christine Rampones of the team become a distant memory, it's got to be comforting to the U.S. to know the future of their team is in capable hands.

Morgan has all the makings of becoming the next US legend. She really cemented herself as a threat in her first ever Women's World Cup appearance, and it's matches like this one where she'll be able to boost her stock before she gets put back on a world stage.

For Canada and the U.S., this match marks a new beginning. Canada is a much better team than they displayed at the Women's World Cup and a loss for the U.S. in the finals has both teams eager to show how bright their futures are.
