Alex Morgan Retires After Historic Soccer Career

Alex Morgan's retirement game attracted significant attention, with ticket sales surging after her announcement. However, her farewell was overshadowed by criticism of the Snapdragon Stadium's unclean playing conditions, prompting outrage from fans who felt she deserved better for her final match.
