That would be Norway celebrating, not the U.S.
Where's Abby Wambach , Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain when we need them?
I still have Phelps fever and Jess is frenzied over futbol, but now I have to give a big, fat FAIL to U.S. women's soccer goalie Hope Solo.
The Americans kicked off the Olympics by getting shutout, 2-0, by Norway, who looked the part of medal-contenders. Solo gave up both the goals in the first four minutes.
Now Solo, if you recall, was the one pulled from the 2007 Women's World Cup semifinal in favor of Briana Scurry. So she, in the name of sportsmanship, took the high road (not!) and threw Scurry under the bus with her public hissy-fit.
"There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves," Solo said of the loss to Brazil. "And the fact of the matter is, it's not 2004 anymore. ... It's 2007, and I think you have to live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past. It doesn't matter what somebody did in an Olympic gold-medal game in the Olympics three years ago."
Now, granted, the U.S. lost that semifinal game because Scurry gave up a goal, but come on - Scurry has played more games, earned more victories, recorded more shutouts and won more medals than any U.S. soccer goalkeeper in history -- male or female -- yet she isn't even on this year's Olympic roster.
So, alright Hope - let's stop living in the past. We'll just judge you by your present performance. And if this is the best you can give up, I don't forsee the U.S. even in the same room as the medal podium.
