The U.S.’ greatest soccer goaltender, St. Louis’ own Hope Solo, told radio host McGraw Milhaven yesterday morning that she’s looking forward to a three-day trip to the Super Bowl in Miami this weekend.
“There’s a ton of parties and I have a feeling it’s going to be like Las Vegas You go for three days, you party tough, you socialise, you do all the events, you come back and you get sick for a week.”
Our kinda woman. But guess what, the St. Louis Athletica netkeeper is also nervous about the trip.

She might be able to get air with a football ball. But what about a pigskin?
ESPN requested Hope Solo on an all-expenses-paid junket so that she could kick some field goals in a pre-match competition held on Sunday.
Hope Solo said she’ll be vying against Robbie Gould of the Chicago Bears soccer squad….and she’s kinda freakin’ about it.
“I kicked a football probably three years ago, messing around, and I couldn’t even get it off the land. It’s going to be entertaining.”
