on all these

Alex Morgan things

she's watching.

- Mm-hm.

- Well, let's, uh...

Let's play some soccer.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go!

Come on, girls!

BOY:

Go, go, go.

[]

Laid back like a movie star

I set it then I broke the bar

It's just right

When I go too far

And everybody's dropping jaw

Just like a moth to flame

Under my spell

And everyone knows my name

BOY:
That's a goal.

That's a goal.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I do my own thing

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I do my own thing

[PLAYERS CHATTERING

INDISTINCTLY]

I don't make mistakes

Don't worry,

I'll take it easy on you.

Nothing in my way

I do my own thing

[GIRLS CHEER]

Ain't sung, but you

Probably heard

Just one look

And I rule the world

I don't try

But I come in first

And that's the way

It always works

Just like a moth

To flame

Under my spell

And everyone knows my name

REAGAN:

Thanks again.

BEN:

That was fun.

The fake injury thing

was cheap.

Agreed. But, uh,

I told you

you didn't know

all my moves.

[CHUCKLES]

You hungry?

Uh...

you sure your girlfriend

would approve of that?

My girlfriend?

What girlfriend?

Claire... Bishop.

Why would you think that?

I-I see you guys

together at school. A lot.

Yeah. Because she kinda

shows up... a lot.

So...

you're not...?

No. No. I, uh...

met her at a tournament

a couple months ago.

[CHUCKLES]

She is not my type.

Where are we eating?

[]

That was fun.

I'm good. I got this.

I can't believe you scored

Dylan on a one-on-one.

- [LAUGHS]

- BEN:
He just...

BEN:
So I know your favorite

player is Alex Morgan.

- REAGAN:
Right.

- BEN:
How about favorite goals?

REAGAN:

Oh, okay, so that's easy.

My first memory

of Alex Morgan,

and it was in

the 2012 Olympics.

US versus Canada. Remember when

they were all tied up, 3 to 3?

- Yeah, yeah.

- They have less than 30 seconds to go

before it would

come down to PKs, right?

Then Abby Wambach got the ball

ten yards above the 18, right?

But then she turned

to pass...

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[SCREAMS]

GIA:

Yeah! We won our first game!

[PEOPLE WHOOPING]

JOE:

Hey, wait. Where's Reagan?

[GRUNTS]

Don't look at me.

She's your daughter.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Did you see my goal?

Great job. Although...

Although what?

You could have had

another goal

if you would've used your left

instead of forcing your righty.

You don't let anything slide,

do you?

You want to be your best,

or you want to be

a Natalie Gunderson?

[CHUCKLES]

ALL:

Hey!

GIA:
What do you want?

'Cause there's...

They got sprinkles.

BUG:

I want five scoops.

[ON RADIO]

Gonna be forever young

Yeah, we're dancing

On the ceiling

And we won't stop

I am so proud of you,

Reagan.

Thanks.

Although I could've had

two goals instead of one

if I'd shot with my left

instead of my right

there at the end.

So I know I'm new

to soccer and all,

but, uh, there are a few things

I do understand

about sports in general.

Check the league standings.

We got three points today

for the win, right?

Mm-hm.

Teams only have to finish in

the top four of their leagues

to qualify for Diamond Cup.

I'm just sayin'.

There's still time.

Diamond Cup. Us?

- Us.

- It was just one win.

No, it was just

our first win.

I've always dreamed

of playing in the Diamond Cup.

The top four teams

in each league

are eligible.

Fourth place. I think

we can get there.

I know we can.

Do you know where

the Diamond Cup finals are?

Yeah,

Harris Field.

Where the U.S. Women's

National Team trains

when they're in town.

I think the key

to making Diamond Cup

is practicing more

with the boys team.

Yeah. Definitely.

Boys? Gross.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

PENNY:

Bug's open. Bug's open!

- JOE:
There you go, Bug! Take it!

- GIRL:
Bug, I'm open!

JOE:

Take the next shot! Yeah!

GIRL:

Way to go, Reagan!

[GIRLS CHEERING]

Independent

[OBJECT THUDS]

I never felt so free

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hey!

And I'm feelin'

So independent

REAGAN:

Are you the ref? Okay,

should I start from

my right foot or my left foot?

Okay. How was that?

I am using my left.

Fine. I'll do it again.

To another win!

[GIRLS CHEER]

I'm gonna go broke

buying ice cream.

Mirror me.

Mirror exactly what I'm doing.

Side-to-side.

So free whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hey!

We moved up to 8th place!

So independent

I'm just being me

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

What are you looking at?

This is normal.

Haven't you ever, uh,

celebrated with air before?

Hey, I'm kina sick...

ALEX:

Good. Shield the ball.

Make sure you're between

the defender

and the ball at all times.

Good. Keep it up.

Now work with your right foot.

Your right foot.

Good, now your left.

And they rock my world

Oh!

And I never felt better

Dancing on the bright side

Stay balanced. Even if I'm

pushing you, stay balanced.

Great move.

I'm feeling

- Independent

- Independent

I never felt so free

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey!

I'm feeling

So independent

Now I'm just being me

- Just being me

- I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

I'm feeling...

Does Coach know that buying

treats after a win

is very

9-year-old AYSO?

- I'm not gonna tell him.

- Me neither.

You got a problem

with being 9?

JOE:
Okay, I need four chocolates,

two vanillas, a cotton candy...

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Just being me...

We moved up another spot!

[ALL CHEERING]

I'm feeling

So independent

Where you think you're going,

squirt?

- Down the field.

- How you think

you're gonna do that?

JOE:
Yeah! way to go, Bug!

Way to go!

So independent...

[GIRLS CHEER]

Charlotte wanted me

to pass to her.

But her dad's not paying her.

Hi, Ben!

Ben! We're going

to Diamond Cup!

- Are you serious?

- Yeah!

- That's awesome!

- REAGAN:
Thanks!

We're so excited. I can't even

tell you how excited we are.

Alex, I don't know

if I'm ready.

We still need to improve.

I need to improve.

Everyone always needs

to improve.

I need to improve.

Diamond Cup is the best girls

soccer teams in the state.

- I wanna talk to you!

- BUG:
Uh-oh.

I'll be with you

the whole way.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

I'm not going anywhere.

Even if I wasn't here,

you're enough, Reagan.

Are you ignoring me?

Me? You can't be

talking about me.

Are you making fun of me?

Nobody ignores Claire Bishop.

Maybe you'll pay attention

when I tell my dad

to have his company

buy this lot.

[]

Hey!

Stop!

[GROANS]

JOE:
Reagan? Honey,

are you okay?

Sweetheart, are you okay?

[GROANS]

Reagan.

I'm okay.

Uh...

Alex?

[]

Alex?

Alex!

What did you do

with Alex Morgan?

Have you seen Alex Morgan?

What did you do with Alex?

Wha...?

- Sweetheart...

- Oh, no.

Wha...? Alex!

Oh!

Come on, please,

please, please, Alex.

I can't do this without you.

Oh, come on.

Alex.

I'm here.

Ready. To practice

my left foot.

Alex?

Please. I need you.

[SIGHS]

Reagan, let's go!

- Do I have to?

- ANNE:
Yes.

Come on.

[CROWD CHEERING]

LOGAN:
And I want to thank

you all for coming today.
