Hope Solo speaking her mind after being dropped from the US team said -"It was the wrong decision," Anybody that knows anything about the game knows that. There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves. The fact of the matter is it's not 2004 anymore. It's 2007 and you have to live in the present and you can't live by big names. It doesn't matter what somebody did in the Olympics three years ago."
The upshot of the this outburst is that she has been exiled from the team and cast into the outer darkness.Jemele Hill - writing in the ESPN sports page has an interesting take on the whole unfortunate business.
