This is a different player. Hope Solo, 40 years old, played from 2000-2016 on the National team then bounced around a couple of women’s leagues here and in Europe. Sadly for her the leagues kept going out of business.
Sad to hear. But predictable because….a) womens leagues and b) soccer. Things no one wants to watch.
I am a long time soccer player and enjoyed many years of watching the US Women;s Team. Hope predates the angry lesbian years. She was a great goalkeeper.
Interestingly, she did not start a crucial final match in the 2007 World Cup (If I remember right). She was better than Briana Scurry who started, in no small part because she was black. We lost. Hope had started all the games before that and we were undefeated. Hope spoke out, and was punished by the USWNT by being banished. (Had she been gay and been anti-USA all would have been fine.)
Sad all around.
Everyone is fighting some battle. We ALL need prayers and to be praying for others.
