Hope Solo Off The Roster
Posted September 29, 2007 Posted Under: Women's FIFA WC, Womens Soccer
Hope Solo won't be in goal for the U.S. against Norway. She won't even be on the bench, as Greg Ryan left her off the roster after Hope was critical of his decision to put Brianna Scurry in the match against Brazil over her.
Maybe Hope should have kept her mouth shut, but can Ryan afford to have Scurry in goal for the third-place match. Scurry's already proven she's not exactly ready to be playing at this level again, as she was out played in the Brazil match. The 36-year-old Scurry just isn't fit enough as the first full game she played in three months was against Brazil. With Hope off the team, the U.S. can only hope that Scurry is ready for this match, because it would be a travesty for the U.S. to walk away from the World Cup with nothing to show for it.
