I think they'll have to announce it today. The media hype will massively die down if it's done afterwards
It’ll still be massive hype tomorrow but imo they’ll miss out by not riding the wave off of today. Was at fever pitch a few hours ago and now it’s starting to get frustrating.

They’ve just announced Alex Morgan. So it’s on the way I suspect.
All that time and it’s a video I swear I’ve seen 99% of already? Not even footage of her from the training ground

Edit: second tweet with photos from Hotspur way, I take it back

Funny you say that - my 'murican buddies all tell me how much of a girls sport "soccer" is over there. Like our schools had netball, their schools all have football programs that are just rammed with girls, who all idolise the national team.

I mean, I didn't ask why any of these middle aged blokes know so much about school girls, but probably for the best.
Alex Morgan is actually really popular in the states, probably moreso after the Olympics. She had a bunch of modelling deals and during the Summer Olympics was on TV almost daily.. not sure if people care about her club career but she's as big of a deal as any woman footballer and maybe even 2nd or 3rd behind Serena Williams in terms of American women athletes.

What would be the best time to announce it if you were tying to maximise coverage in the US? Just asking. ?

Morgan has more followers on Instagram than Tottenham or Pele - and even the Royal Family's official account.
