I have to agree with Lilly...

But, Scurry as the goalkeeper again? She had her chance to shine in this World Cup...She didn't do well.

Coach Ryan should have given the chance to the third goalkeeper on the roster...It would be nice for her to get some experience. She did not play in this World Cup yet.

When a redneck texan hears the news of the goalie switch on sportcenter and spontaneously blurts, “huh?” ...well, there’s pretty much your sign this coach is a dumbass. Solo’s got some stones on her. You gotta kinda like that in a big hot blond chick.

If Lilly was such a leader, she would have told Ryan he was an idiot to replace Solo; before the Brazil match. Solo’s teammates should have come to her defense.

Ryan praised Scurry on Saturday for accepting her role as a backup even though she is still one of the best goalie's in the world.

If this was true, Scurry would have been the starting goal keeper all along. The truth is, she was never that good and played with the best back line in the world during that time.

Before this flap I thought there was no sport that I could care less about than men’s soccer.

I stand corrected.

Yawn.

First of all, it’s not only soccer, but women’s soccer, so who cares? A 3rd world sport with very limited popularity in America. But secondly, it’s great that the girl got hammered for her popping off. Typical example of some no-name athlete trying to create some publicity and significance for herself, knowing that the media usually carries their water and makes it happen. Back-fired here because the coach had some guts to respond.

U.S. goalie Hope Solo, who criticized coach Greg Ryan and veteran teammate Brianna Scurry on Thursday, will not even be on the bench for Sunday's third-place match against Norway in the World Cup...

...and most of the 20 fans of women's soccer in the United States were rumored to be "devastated."
