Anyone else sick of Hope Solo?

[joeybee12]

MANCHESTER, England -- U.S. women's soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo isn't backing down from her critical tweets about NBC game analyst Brandi Chastain.

Solo said Monday she was just expressing her opinion during her Twitter outburst. She said she believes the best commentators should be working at the Olympics and feels former player Chastain is lacking in energy, excitement and passion.

Solo railed against Chastain's commentary following the U.S. team's 3-0 win over Colombia on Saturday. The outburst led to a meeting with coach Pia Sundhage and the team captains on Sunday, with the coach expressing concern about how the tweets reflected on the team as a whole.

Solo declined to answer any follow-up questions about the matter.

Just STFU and play...another example of an arrogant athlete with a Twitter account.

1. Chastain was right

I lost respect for her after her stint on Dancing with the Stars. She was so over the top with her criticisms of everyone else except for herself. The judges were unfair to her was her mantra from day one. Yeah, I'm sick of her.

2. Yup, very sick of her.

and DON'T get me started on her DWTS stint. Ugh.....

13. Yeah, because soccer is one person game.

Solo is just another Tonya Harding, but don't push such BS, please.

3. Have been since she choked away the World Cup to the Japanese

I'm surprised she didn't get any endorsements after that. Donuts. Swiss cheese. The possibilities are limitless!

Always has been.

You do your job. Let Chastain do hers.

7. What Do You All Expect from Hans' Daughter?

She's a nerfherder.

8. Is she any relation to Napoleon Solo?

Does anyone want to cry UNCLE after reading that.

9. Also threw a snit

Sorry, I don't remember when. It was a match against Brazil in a tournament and Coach Ryan decieded to go with the experienced Scurry. Solo threw a fit, publicy criticized the coach and was dismissed from the squad.

10. Kicking because she's blowing it already for Team USA...nt

11. What? She's a soccer player?

That certainly explains it.

12. She's a low IQ punk, with a great talent as a goalkeeper.

If she'd didn't have the talent to be a world class goalkeeper, she'd have ended up brawling in bars. Heck, she still might end up being another Tonya Harding. Well, in reality, that is what she is, anyway.
