Wow. Stunned.
Just read Ella Masar’s addition to the magicJack debacle. Good lord. Poor girl. And her nose! WTF, DB? Really? :(
Two things: 1) Hope hasn’t said much about the WPS situation but what she’s said was quite apt:
“Women’s pro soccer has a place in America. It’s just about finding the right people to make it succeed. And I’m not sure we’ve done...

“That’s the story about a goalkeeper’s life. You sit around. You sit...”
– Hope Solo
I love how happy the back 4 + Hope seemed after the game.
Anonymous asked: really hoping hope doesn't get dragged through the mud because of this magicjack bs. she made her feelings pretty clear once her contract was up with the team and was no longer contractually obligated to kiss ass. abby is the one that should be questioned for her loyalty to the ass hat.

“I say the word bully, with first hand knowledge from friends who played for...”
– Life as a Female Soccer Player | The adventures of livin’ the dream… (via yourestillhere)
Interesting perspective. Just gotta point out Hope never sided with Dan and when she heard her name had been lumped in with people willing to play for him she shot it down on twitter immediately. Those names...

“After her second save, I wanted to go chest bump her,” said Wambach, who...”
– Hope and Abby exchange a verbal chest bump. Too bad GK don’t get to celebrate until the end of the game. (read the rest here)

Anonymous asked: What more can Hope do, other than get back to full health, to prove that she is the best keeper in the world? She's only ever lost like 2 games with the USWNT (full on loosing, the other team scored more goals) she has a 55% shutout ratio in 107 games, she's pretty much unanimously called the best keeper in the women's game. I honestly don't see what more she can do beyond just...

More from Pia on Morgs and Syd
kicksave:
Pia was asked about Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux in the same question, and how they fit on the field together. She responded by saying she had asked Baby Horse whether or not she likes playing with Syd, to which Alex responded: I don’t think you want to hear that answer.
Which is, for those of you who were wondering, why only Alex came on tonight. Pia said she like to see that...

“Sundhage said Solo and star U.S. forward Abby Wambach are both suffering from...”
– I dunno. I think Abby mentally needed her road trip and time off and the sport needed Hope’s media explosion. Hope pulls a muscle and it ends up in USA Today and trends on twitter. Sad that it takes bad press about Hope to get mainstream media to follow the tournament, but that’s just...

“Toward the end of the game I was a little worried that I was going to have to...”
– So there you have it. The little quad pull that was trending world wide on Twitter last night. And to think, Carli just had to do a hat trick for the same result. That’s it — texting rematch!

“For years a group of Vancouver Whitecaps fans called the Southsiders have been...”
– That should clear that up. Hope is used to people heckling her and never complained about it. It was the stadium security (the same who told American fans to stop cheering) who put an end to that too. So I guess they are being equally lame to everyone. Hope they get that out of their system before...

“Solo said the Americans never felt sorry for the Caribbean side. The U.S....”
– And that is Hope’s personality in full force folks. Abby and the rest were similar in tone. Playing for all the marbles, kids. This is soccer. There is no such thing as running up the score. Would you have told them to let Tebow off easy in that last game or would you have said one more TD?...

“We heard from commentators they were giving [Pia] a little heat for not taking...”
– Wait, Hope actually talked to the commentators and they told her they were saying that crap? I would love to have been in that suicide booth. I mean press room.

“Asked whether her DWTS competition provided her with any edge in soccer, Solo...”
– I feel a little greedy for getting to see Hope twice a week every week this Fall, but damn. She was too good for that shit-show. It’s one thing to put in all of that work and get appropriately rewarded and encouraged. It’s another to do all that knowing at the end of the day...

“On potentially meeting Canada during the tournament:
“Canada is a physical,...”
– Hope “Spartacus” Solo. Remember how she was pissed the Canadians came over to hang out at the hotel after the Friendly? Hope’s level of rivalry exceeds everyone’s. LOL. Bloodbath indeed. Read the rest (with quotes from Pinoe, Morgan, and Leroux as well) over here.

Watch
Perry Solkowski with soccer star Hope Solo
Accurate comments on fashionable scarf were accurate. DWTS can rot in hell for all I care…but she did figure out her wardrobe through that it seems.
I’m a little annoyed at them implying she is going “solo” on her media blitz after the World Cup. Players seem to know their true motivations and try to give attention and credit...

“My shoulder will always be an issue,” the 30-year-old goalkeeper said....”
– Hope’s shoulder is getting better-ish! More confirmation of badassery. Read the rest (more Olympics talk, DWTS, and Pinoe who thinks she’s “intimidating”. Hah!) at mysanantonio.com
Anonymous asked: It makes me sad that so many "fans" seem to have forgotten what an absolute beast Hope is on the field. She's pretty much universally heralded as the best goalkeeper in the women's game but apparently she doesn't deserve to be our number one keeper anymore. I guess we just need to wait until she's busting out her signature badassery during qualifiers, then everyone...
Anonymous asked: I think its safe to assume that since Hope made it through the manufactured BS that came with DWTS with her "if you don't like me that's your problem, not mine" attitude firmly in tact, that she won't be changing any time soon. She's matured a lot since 07, as a person and as a public figure, but I don't think people give her enough credit for that because it...
Anonymous asked: It always amuses me how genuinely surprised Hope is when people bring up things she's done away from the soccer field. Like in that most recent interview she looked really surprised that the interviewer knew she'd gone out for fondue. Its also pretty cute watching her when people start listing off all her accomplishments.
