She will not be allowed to watch it in person. This is a decision from Greg Ryan that does not have my support. And, if indeed the team did not appreciate Hope Solo’s candid remarks, their collective response was to abandon her. That is disconcerting.” “ Ryan said he made the decision to leave Solo off the team after meeting with the team's leaders. Kristine Lilly, who is playing in her fifth World Cup, said Solo "going public has affected the whole group, and having her with us would still be a distraction." Google Blog Search “ Solo's MySpace page , which seems genuine, also reveals that she's single and has, at time of posting, 1675 friends. Send her a message of support, Piesfolk. She could use it.” “ Greg Ryan, after the U.S.’s 4-0 loss to Brazil in the Women’s World Cup, really ought to go down as one of the dumber coaches in history, and if he doesn’t, it will only be because of the profile of his sport. Solo thinks so too, and amid the caterwauling that she’s betraying the team and speaking out of turn, does it even matter that she’s 1,000 percent right?” “ What I can't understand is why so many people consider Solo's remarks refreshing and brave, instead of selfish and counterproductive.” Google News Neutral Quotes Positive Quotes Negative Quotes

Although, she may have taken a shot at Scurry, she said what was on her mind and, I think, the only reason her team didn't back her up is because after seeing what happened to Solo, they were afraid that Ryan would do the same thing to them. Solo said what was on her mind and I completely admire her for that. She didn't sit back and take crap like that when she knew she could have done a better job. As a player, she is one of my heroes.” “ You remember the Greatest Team You Never Heard Of --they finished third at the women's World Cup after the U.S. coach made the bizarre decision to bench his starting goalie, Hope Solo, who he had ridden to two straight undefeated years in favor of 36-year-old former star Briana Scurry. Coach Ryan's explanation, that Scurry had a better lifetime record against Brazil, was basically the same argument Mr. Burns used in substituting Homer for Daryl Strawberry ("But skip, I'm five-for-five with five home runs!").” BlogPulse “ Leah “Ashley” Rosenbaum Vs.

Is there a better possible name for a female goal keeper? I don't think it's possible. She must have changed her name to suit her career.
