Sure, Abby Wambach was the star of the 2011 Women’s FIFA World Cup, but Alex Morgan stole the hearts of many guys.

Morgan, who scored four goals in the US Olympic qualifying run to ensure her team will be in the Olympic games this summer in London, stripped down for the shoot, covering herself only in bodypaint. According to the article posted on Yahoo, Morgan was asked a few questions throughout the shoot. This is one of those questions:

SI.com: What was more intimidating: posing in bodypaint or taking on Japan in the World Cup finals?

Morgan: I have been playing soccer my entire life. I know how to stay calm and not get too nervous for games. That’s why I would have to say posing in bodypaint was a little more intimidating. It was a completely new experience and definitely took some getting used to before I felt comfortable in bodypaint. I had to look in the mirror every five minutes to make sure I actually had a swimsuit on.

 

I’m glad you felt comfortable with it, Alex. We appreciate it greatly.

The SI Swimsuit issue hits shelves on Valentine’s Day. Maybe a nice gift idea!
