no hope for u.s. against brazil
In one of those last minute moves that makes me cringe, US WNT coach Greg Ryan has decided to start veteran goal keeper Briana Scurry in place of Hope Solo for the ladies World Cup semi-final game against Brazil. Scurry is unbeaten against Brazil and coach Ryan said something about her quick reflexes and tricky Brazilians.
It screams of over-thinking, but at this late stage, I’m just going to hope pray it works out. Because in tomorrow morning’s game (8am EST), a valiant loss isn’t going to be acceptable as it was with the men in their friendly Clash of Champions.
Steve Goff has more details from China.

Hope got fired from the team after her breakdown in media.
Now.. there is hope for Ms. Solo ?
