MORGAN GRACES FIFA 16

US women's soccer star Alex Morgan has scored a rare goal by being chosen to grace the cover of EA Sports' FIFA 16 video game, appearing alongside Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, the company announced Monday. Morgan was one of two women players chosen for the covers of the latest version of the game in North America, with Canadian skipper Christine Sinclair picked for the Canadian market. The decision to have a female presence on the cover comes as the best-selling game introduces women's teams for the first time.
