Hope Solo

Hope Solo is a goal keeper for the US Women's Soccer Team. She was pulled from a game in the semis that ended in a 4-0 loss to Brazil in the World Cup. She then gave a press interview where she heavily criticized head coach Greg Ryan and replacement goal keeper Brianna Scurry. The video has sparked a debate about sportsmanship and team spirit.

Despite this unfortunate outburst, Hope Solo is one of the best female goal keepers in the sport.

The US Women's Soccer Team decided not to allow Hope Solo back into play after her outburst to the media.

This week has been a vocal one for sports. Milton Bradley blamed his coach for his knee injury, a statement I disagree with. OSU's Mike Gundy blasted the media and spent his entire interview speaking up for his players! And then Hope Solo blasted Brianna Scurry and Coach Greg Ryan.

Hope Solo criticizes head coach Greg Ryan

Written by
