Goalkeeper Hope Solo in action for the US National Women’s Team. Hope Solo has hit back at the United States Soccer Federation’s decision to sanction her for controversial comments made at the Rio Olympics, saying she is “saddened” but will continue to play with the “same unrelenting passion.” The USSF announced late Wednesday that it had suspended the veteran US goalkeeper for six months after she described Swedish players as “a bunch of cowards” for what she viewed as their defensive tactics. Solo then posted a statement on Facebook and Twitter shortly after revealing her contract had also been terminated.
