Maybe it's because I spent the last 10 years in the Seattle area, maybe it's because she is hot (lol, not 1 of my reasons), or maybe it's because Solo is IMO the best keeper the U.S. women teams have ever had play keeper. If anyone has a right to run their mouth it's Solo (besides the "superstars" Chastain, Hamm, or any of the other "older" champion players) she hasn't given any reason (in my mind/view) on the field, too be treated by the public, teammates, and coaches, as she has the past few years (sat for Brazil match in 2007 World Cup, and the 3rd place game for a very rusty Scurry, among other incidents). Well I'm a Pittsburgh resident, so the whole shat talking stuff, and public criticism doesn't impress me, now or in the past. Unless that person, player has shown they are in fact the best, say what you want when you want, but you better back it up in your play. There should be a level of sportsmanship in any competitive play, but every team has that one player (Joey Porter for example), so yeah it's fine, again to have the "right" you best put up, or shut up. Until I see Solo's play decline, or become affected by outside sources, yap it up, if that's your thing.....

Hope Solo's Cocky Personality Helps Women's Soccer
