Alex Morgan has the support of "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner, who inspired Morgan's tea-sipping celebration during Tuesday's semi-final match against England. The US defeated England 2-1. 

Morgan scored a goal in the 30th minute for the United States and while most of Twitter loved it, others found it "distasteful."

During the team's media availability on Friday, Morgan said she was inspired by Turner for the celebration. Turner is known for famously offering her opinions on Instagram stories and ends them by saying, "And that's the tea" as she sips from a cup. 

Morgan also called the criticism a double standard, "You see men celebrating all over the world in big tournaments, grabbing their sacks or whatever it is. And when I look at sipping a cup of tea, I am a little taken aback by the criticism."

Turner is currently on her honeymoon after her and Joe Jonas' wedding but took time to record an Instagram story in which she slammed the haters of Morgan's celebration. 

Turner said she was "incredibly sad" England's team lost and "incredibly proud" of them, but also honored that they lost to such an incredible team in the US. 

"I'm honored that you thought of me and all those people who are hating on you are probably sitting at home millennials drinking kombucha and I'm really f------ proud of you, Alex Morgan," Turner said. "Congratulations on your win, and that's the motherf------ tea."
