Why Alex Morgan and Servando Carrasco win the cutest football couple

Regarding sports events, nothing looks like the Women's World Cup.

Over the weekend, millions of football fans were glued to their television screen when they watched Team USA face Team Netherlands for a close match.

And although the US team eventually wins the first prize again, there is one player who may deserve some recognition for something off the field.

Oh yes, we're talking about co-captain Alex Morganunbreakable bond of his fellow football stud Servando Carrasco.

While the couple is trying to keep their relationship away from social media and the public, both athletes have built a strong relationship that deserves to be celebrated.

It all started in U.C. Berkeley where Servando was named co-head captain of the football team. As for Alex, she impressed football scouts with her skills on the women's team while sharing a room with Real Housewives of Orange County star Kara Keough.

When they do not study and practice, the duo develops a romantic relationship that takes them to Orlando where they continue to play football on a professional level.

Fast forward until 2013, when Servando decided to offer a fireworks show in Manhattan Beach, California.

"He was preparing the proposal for that night and asked me to get up, then asked me to marry him," Alex told The Knot. "We drove our cruise ships to the beach at my father's house to celebrate and enjoy champagne with our family and friends."

A New Year's Eve wedding soon followed in 2014 and life was starting – no pun intended – until 2017, when Servando bid farewell to the Orlando City Football Club and praised the Los Angeles Galaxy.

"It's far from ideal to be so far from your wife," Servando recently told Pro Soccer USA. "We know it's temporary, we can only play professional football for five to six years, we need to take advantage of it and we know that when we finish playing, we will be together."

Alex added to the Orlando Sentinel"I do not want to piss off, it's not easy … Obviously, with the national team, I'm away two weeks at a time, all the time, so we're used to that. everything we can see in the coming weeks or anything will definitely help. "

When schedules allow the pair to meet, do not expect them to talk about football. Instead, they like to disconnect from the sport that they love so much.

"We are certainly talking about [the sport] a lot, and we like to watch football together. It's as good to be normal, to spend time with our family, our nieces, with our parents, "Servando told Pro Soccer USA." Whenever she returns to California, we spend a lot of time with them. We go to the beach, we are both normal people. We are just trying to be as normal as possible. "

And no, it's not a sports center or ESPN 24 hours a day. Instead, the couple loves a familiar NBC show with Mandy Moore , Sterling K. Brown and other familiar faces.

"The last show we watched was This is usbut she flew quite fast through both seasons, "he said. I could not really stand it because it made a lot of emotions. "

Instead of posting their relationship on social media, the duo prefers to post its messages only on special occasions like Valentine's Day and holidays.

Red carpet appearances are rare, but Alex was spotted at the Nickelodeon family awards for children in the sports category. In fact, fans might see the couple tomorrow night at ESPY 2019 where Alex is nominated for the best female athlete.

While Servando is more than impressed by the skills of his wife on the ground, it is perhaps what is happening far from the grass that makes him more proud.

In addition to writing a book titled Breakaway: Beyond the goal and starring in a movie called Alex and I, the athlete recently won a place on TIMEList of the 100 most influential people in football legend Mia Hamm congratulated the 30 years old.

"From an early age, he's a person who has embraced his ability to connect with his fans and generate more excitement for his team and the sport," Mia wrote for the publication. "Off the field, she and her teammates are also leading a more equitable football and support from US Soccer, in order to continue providing opportunities to young girls who love this. sport."

As for her close friend Kara, she saw him too.

"Alex, you've been making me proud for a long time … and you're getting better every year! Up to now, you're trying to grow our company with #equalpay for women is my favorite." your goals! "The Bravo star recently wrote on Instagram." I can not wait to see what you will do next …[aw] London, I see France, I see Alex doing a dance that scores goals! & # 39; Keep making all the United States proud. "

"She worked hard to be in the place where she is, so I will clearly celebrate her," Servando told MLS Soccer, citing his wife's accomplishments. "Yeah, it's a badass woman."

No matter if she wins another trophy this week at ESPY, Alex knows she has a family that supports her. By the way, scoring a goal, it's cool, but how about making a difference in your country?

"I love her for the person she is, and what she accomplishes is almost secondary." Of course, I'm proud of her, that's no question. "When my nieces talk to him and respect him, that's as good as he can, "Servando told MLS Soccer." I mean, football stuff, yeah, of course, cool. But see it on the world's "most influential" & # 39; in Time magazine? I'm like, damn. It makes a difference. "
