2. Negative Quotes Positive Quotes Neutral Quotes Google News “ On the tradition-laden U.S. Women's National Team, Solo's outburst was unacceptable, and her peers, led by the older players she indirectly denigrated, decided she should not play in Sunday's third-place game against Norway, and she was forced into isolation from her team at the swank Westin Hotel.” "Maybe one day I'll thank her," Wambach said in an interview after conducting a free clinic for about 600 kids at Total Sports Experience. "It's something I hope to never go through again, but our team unity now is as strong as I've ever felt." “ What I can't understand is why so many people consider Solo's remarks refreshing and brave, instead of selfish and counterproductive.” Google Blog Search “ I support Coach Ryan. You cannot have your players criticize you especially in public. If she wanted a private meeting with him, that’s one thing. But doing it in public completely questions his authority and his ability to coach the team. It is unacceptable behavior by a player. “ “ Outspoken U.S. Women's team goalie Hope Solo came in at #8 and retired superstar Mia Hamm ranked #20 both scored with jersey searchers this week. Clearly, Hope's comment rang true with female soccer fans.” “ She obviouly had the right to be upset, should it have been different it would be strange as she is a professional but not to involve the media and the public by the same way.” Google Video “ Why attack scurry its not her fault you got benched she need to grow up and stop whining. Get over it.” “ Hope Solo is correct, unfortunately some people don’t like hearing the truth. She is a lot better than Scurry. Scurry was a great goalie but time catches up everybody, she is now old and slow. “ “ As far as lashing at the coach, it's been done in all major team sports. All the big names you can find, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Manning, Porter, Maradona, Cruyff, Beckham etc all have done it. With impunity. “

She is still your teammates regardless. She is (or was) your best goalkeeper on the team. We should expect criticism in addition to praise. We should admit a mistake in addition to congratulating each other.” Technorati “ I agree with your points about messing with team chemistry and that any kind of goalie rotation is a horrible idea (in all sports) and all that, but if Solo wants to wonder why she got benched, maybe she should have looked at those WEAK ass goals she let in against the North Koreans. If she hadn’t stunk that game up I find it hard to believe this stupid idea ever would have been have floated in the first place.” “ The first rule is, of course, play your best damn players. This seems obvious enough, but must be mentioned since Ryan chose in this case to sit his #1 goalkeeper, who had a lengthy shutout streak going, in order to play the #2 goalkeeper, whom he believed to be a ‘better matchup.’ “ Personally I respect her for speaking her mind, but at the same time, he’s still her coach and has to make the decisions concerning her playing time in the future. That could get dicey.” BlogPulse “ The bottom line in both of these cases is that there was a better way of handling the frustration and hurt that resulted from others' actions. “ “ ...about the lunatic move by Ryan to put Scurry in goal.” “ And I, for one, loved Hope's comments after the debacl e against Brazil.” “ Second, we won the third place match. It doesn't mean much, but it gets us out of there on a high note, and reminds the team that they can do better.”

It is possible that the coach made a wrong decision but Solo's personal attack on a teammate with such vital contribution for US women soccer is SHAMEFUL! She proved to be an egotistical person full with "super" goalie believes. Dumping her was the best decision made by the coach. This was Brazil day - if there is a lesson to learn from it, it is not about Solo, is about new directions for US team.” “ Hot soccer player Hope Solo airs it out- and we don’t blame her.” "She's made a mistake and she knows that," Ryan added. "Believe me, I've made a tons of mistakes in my life -- bigger than Hope's."
