Hope Solo is a classless Bleeped text

The Swedes played defense, pure and simple. Like the Bears team that won the Super Bowl.

Herm Edwards needs to have a talk with Ms. Solo

Be careful gang. If she doesn't like what you have to say, Hope(less) Solo might come here and beat you up. It has happened before.

Winston Smith13 Aug 2016 7:27 a.m. PST

I bet she could take Rhonda Rousey.

Should Hope attempt that w/me, I'd sue her for elder abuse

Not to mention that Sweden has a legitimate goal disallowed about 3 minutes before the game ended. It should've never gone to penalty kicks. Sweden won the game.

Sweden had a game plan that worked. USA looked sloppy…probably from overconfidence. Hope's comments were inexcusable.

Say it isn't so Winston (the thing about Smokey)!

Her father Han was horrified.

I really dont have a problem with what she said. It was laughable, but nothing scandalous.

The ineptitude of the US team let Sweden play that game.

She should be demonized by the media for letting shots go right by her. Looked like that Mens US World Cup keeper, that Key and Peele clown, who lets every shot get by.

Maybe the bigger story was the treasonous play by the team? LOL! they looked like the halftime contests where people are picked from the stands to kick a penalty shot for a prize.

Anyway, go Sweden! Hate the US Womens soccer team.


That said, their performance was better than some other Americans I can name, who's media favorite standing had nothing to do with their alleged performances.

Smokey Roan31 Aug 2016 3:02 p.m. PST

She had a ….lol…25% save percentage in the Olympics!

25%!!!!

Thats as bad as that US mens team Key and Peele guy.

THAT is why they got rid of her. My grandaughter could have stopped all those shootout goals!!!


BTW, in my two official NCAA soccer games as goalie, I had a 100% save percentage.

Stopped all 7 shots against USF, and stopped like 10 shots against East Carolina, when my team, for laughs, decided to let ECU go uncontested at me in the last 10 minutes (we were up 5-0)


Breakaway after breakaway, and I was everywhere. Stopped four shots in a 10 seconds before giving up goal with a couple minutes left. Literally had like 30 shots on goal, like a hockey game.

As usual, Smokey had to ruin it. Got mad when they scored, ran out and did a diving head first spear into a player for no reason other than the fact he scored on me.

That was it. Red card (a yellow would have got me tossed as I had a previous one anyway), and NCAA suspension (like it mattered, I was on the team for three games, during a crisis where both regular goalies were out, during a early season tournament)

What sucked, the NCAA thing CARRIED over to tennis season! That was the year I got our school fined like 5 grand during the unfortunate Notre Dame match incident. (The fight thing) I beat a suspension on appeal (they couldnt prove I intentionally tried to kill my opponent, by purposely losing a set, so he would get heat stroke in the third. They made a good argument, pointing out that I openly yelled "Like how I tanked that set? Now your gonna die, right in front of your mother!!". But they did nail me for smoking cigs during changeovers (I did it to demorolize my opponent. It worked. He was crying like a baby before he went into full blown heat stroke :( )


Anyway. Lolo is NOT impressive. Any real athlete can step on a soccer field and dominate, especially at goalie (I had never played soccer in my life, but I was a great ice hockey goalie)
