The US Woman's National team Coach Greg Ryan made one of the worst decisions in World Cup coaching by pulling GK Hope Solo. Solo hadn't yielded a goal in almost 300 minutes in the tournament but Coach Ryan pulled her in favor of Briana Scurry, who hadn't played a full match in three months. After the game, Solo sharply questioned Ryan's decision.
"There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves," Solo said. "You have to live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past." On Friday, Solo said while she still doubts Ryan's strategy, she did not mean to hurt Scurry. The way the team played they looked like they lacked confidence and did not have chemistry with Scurry since she had not played so long. Hats for the telling the truth, the rest of the team had to quietly question this move and it put a dent in the the US World Cup hopes.
Check out some of these monster saves from Hope Solo. From the looks of these saves she could have helped the US Woman's National team against Brazil.
