Nancy Armour is a sports columnist for USA Today who frequently covers the intersection of sports, culture, politics and how they influence each other. Her evolution in that role parallels the evolution of Alex Morgan on the national and international soccer scene. She has extensively covered the USWNT star over the years and, upon Morgan's announced retirement, wrote about the impact she had on the game.

Armour joined Founding Futbol to talk about the California-natives rise to stardom. The impact she had on the field and the bigger impact she had off it.

Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America. Extra Time is an additional weekly episode that shares reactions and reflections from the chapters, and brings additional guests into the fold.
