Alex Morgan: To put it bluntly, Alex Morgan is the next Mia Hamm. The 21-year-old has already cracked Team USA’s lineup, and even scored the goal that sealed the team’s advancement to the World Cup in a recent playoff against Italy. She also, obviously, is absolutely beautiful, but the former Cal Bear isn’t even the most beautiful athlete from her own school on this list.

Alexandra Patricia Morgan (born July 2, 1989) is a North American soccer player from Diamond Bar, California. She is a forward for the Western New York Flash of Women's Professional Soccer and member of the US Women's National Team. Alex is the youngest player on the USA's roster at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.

After watching the United States women’s soccer team’s incredible comeback in the 2011 Women’s World Cup quarterfinals against Brazil, I had a ton of things rushing through my head. What heart. What an improbable comeback. What a match. How cool was that to watch? Oh, and I have fallen helplessly, hopelessly in love with United States goalkeeper Hope Solo.

So here is my very private letter to Ms. Solo (who is single) letting her know how I feel.

Dear Hope,
You were incredible against Brazil, but that’s not why I’m writing this. I just want you to know that we’re perfect for each other. Yes, you read that right. You and I are completely perfect for each other. I’ll give you a minute so you can digest just how lucky you are.

Watching you go into beast mode during the match yesterday just did it for me. By the time you made your (I’m estimating here) 20th ridiculous save, I was swooning. What can I say? Experts all claim you’re the world’s best goalie, and, frankly, I can’t disagree with that…I can’t agree either, since I don’t really know anything about women’s soccer.

When you stopped that first penalty kick, and the referee awarded another, and you flipped out and got a yellow card, I was all set to throw down with that Australian broad who FIFA apparently deemed qualified enough to referee the match. Not that I’d ever hit a woman or anything I just mean that…moving on.
