Alex Morgan wanted to be in France right now, but it seems like Italy wasn’t a terrible backup option.
Morgan was left off the U.S. women’s national team Olympic roster, ending a ending a run of seven straight major tournaments with the national team.
While the USWNT touched down in France this week ahead of its Olympics opener against Zambia on Thursday, Morgan had some unexpected down time.
The San Diego Wave striker appeared to make the most of it, posting pictures on Instagram of a vacation to Italy alongside her husband Servando Carrasco, former USWNT star Kelley O’Hara and her partner Kameryn Stanhouse.
The group seemed to get plenty of quality boating time in, as well as enjoying city exploration and some of Italy’s gastronomic delights.

NJ/NY Gotham FC defender O’Hara announced in May that she will retire at the end of the 2024 NWSL season.
While the NWSL takes a break from league play during the Olympics, the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup kicks off on Friday night.
