The Bad Girl of Womenâ€™s Soccer

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:07:24 +0000

Excellent girls wear pink, which is why Hope Solo wonâ€™t. Earlier this year, as the new Womenâ€™s Professional Soccer league prepared to kick off its inaugural season, it unveiled the uniforms Puma had designed for the leagueâ€™s seven teams. Solo, who plays goalie for the St. Louis Athletica, wasnâ€™t impressed. â€œThey go and make this padded goalkeeper jersey and itâ€™s hot pinkâ€”it just looks girly, it looks juvenile, it doesnâ€™t look professional,â€ she told me one afternoon as we sat on a bench in an empty Harvard Stadium, where her team had just finished practicing for its match the next day against the Boston Breakers. â€œAnd so I said, â€˜Thereâ€™s no way in hell Iâ€™m wearing this.â€™â€

Such defiantâ€”some might say diva-ishâ€”behavior is nothing new for Solo. At the 2007 World Cup in China, she started for the U.S., until the coach benched her for a semifinal match against Brazil, which the team lost, 4â€“0. After the match, Solo pointedly told a reporter, â€œThereâ€™s no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves.â€ The team subsequently banished her from its consolation matchâ€”and from its flight home. The next year, at the Beijing Olympics, under a new coach, Solo found some redemption by leading the U.S. to a gold medal. But she was criticized as a showboat for her victory prance around the field with an enormous fake gold medal dangling from her neck and a cell phone pressed to her ear. â€œNo oneâ€™s neutral about Hope Solo,â€ says Angela Tavares, a writer for the soccer Web site Goal.com. â€œThey either like her or despise her.â€

But Soloâ€™s polarizing persona is what makes her so crucial to the new leagueâ€™s fortunes. The last professional womenâ€™s soccer league in the U.S., the Womenâ€™s United Soccer Association, lasted only three seasonsâ€”largely because it lacked edge. â€œThe WUSA sort of had a focus on preteen, ponytailed girls who aspired to play soccer someday, and so their messaging was around â€˜cause marketingâ€™: â€˜This league is something girls deserve to have, and as a fan you ought to support this,â€™â€ says Tonya Antonucci, a former Yahoo executive and the new leagueâ€™s commissioner. â€œWeâ€™re presenting an environment thatâ€™s not about babysitting kids but is an opportunity to watch the best and be entertained by the best.â€

In most professional sports, a large measure of that entertainment typically comes from booing, or at least rooting against, a villainous athlete. The best players in menâ€™s sports have legions of admirers and detractors, whether itâ€™s Kobe Bryant in basketball or Terrell Owens in football. Alas, many of the stars of womenâ€™s soccer have been too bland (at least in their public personas) to inspire much in the way of strong feelings, especially negative ones. Could anyone, for instance, dislike Mia Hamm?

Solo doesnâ€™t have that problem. Indeed, her outburst at the World Cup, which drew the attention of ESPN and sports-talk radio, was one of the rare instances when womenâ€™s soccer entered the countryâ€™s broader sports discussion. Although Solo is considered by some to be the best goalkeeper in the world, itâ€™s her off-field as much as her on-field reputation that has garnered her endorsement deals from Nike and VitaminWater. â€œSheâ€™s one of the few women players in America that has marketing value right now,â€ says Peter Wilt, the president of the Chicago Red Stars. â€œAnd a large part of it is because of her opinionated nature.â€

Solo relishes being known as, in her words, â€œthat loudmouth goalkeeperâ€â€”if only because she wants to be afforded the same liberties sports fans typically grant to male athletes: namely, the right to be a cocky jerk. â€œFor some reason, people want to reckon that weâ€™re girls next door, who all get along and go shopping at the mall together,â€ she told me. â€œTreat us like professional athletes.â€

At the match the next night, it seemed that Solo was a long way from getting her wish. Most of the 5,000 or so fans who came to Harvard Stadium seemed to be the very same preteen ponytailed girls and glassy-eyed parents who had led the WUSA to its ruin. But one small sign augured well: a group of 30 or 40 Breakers fansâ€”all adults, some apparently well-lubricatedâ€”who banged on drums and kept up a raucous stream of chants: â€œWe despise So-lo,â€ they sang. â€œSo-lo sucks!â€ The object of their scorn never acknowledged the jeers, but she must have secretly appreciated them. After all, as promised, Soloâ€™s jersey that night wasnâ€™t pink; it was redâ€”like a matadorâ€™s cape.

Hope Solo Talks About World Cup

admin — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 01:39:37 +0000

Nearly three months after her World Cup fell apart, Hope Solo still is pained by the experience.

In her first public comments since a brutally frank TV interview in which she criticized her benching, Solo told The Associated Press she never saw it coming and wasn’t prepared for it.

“I had felt as though my childhood dream basically had been ripped away from me,” she said.

The starting goalkeeper for the U.S. soccer team in China, Solo played well in the opening round and quarterfinals. But then coach Greg Ryan benched her for veteran Briana Scurry against Brazil, and the Americans were routed 4-0.

After the loss, Solo said: “It was the incorrect choice, and I reckon anyone that knows anything about the match knows that. There’s no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves. … You have to live in the present. And you can’t live by huge names. You can’t live in the past.”

Ryan dismissed Solo from the team. She wasn’t allowed on the bench for the third-place match, did not participate in the medal ceremony and flew home from China on her own.

Until Thursday, Solo had only spoken with close friends and family about her ordeal. As she prepares for a training camp in Carson, Calif., where she will mingle with many of the World Cup players, Solo spoke to the AP by phone.

“It is a small hard to relive that,” she said. “Mentally, I was full of all sorts of emotions. The World Cup was the only thing that kept me together after the death of my father (in June), kept me fighting and together and dedicated to the match.

“Moreso, the moment I realized we didn’t have the opportunity to win the gold medal, my world came tumbling down. I had nothing to immediately give back to my father. I was wound so tight emotionally, and the moment after the loss I broke.”

The worst part, Solo said, was her comments seemed directed at her teammates as well as at Ryan, who recently was replaced at coach by Pia Sundhage.

“Of course I know I have some friendships to rebuild and teammates to rebuild relationships with,” she said. “But there is nothing I can go back and do.

“Never did I intend to place down a teammate, and that is the thing that hurts the most. I always have respected and will respect Bri. And that is the thing that hurts me the most.”

Solo issued an apology through U.S. Soccer just before an exhibition tour against Mexico in October. She and Scurry were together during that series, along with most of the World Cup players.

“I have reached out to her, but beyond the Mexico series we have not really spoken, which is not unusual with my teammates, because we’re often not together for long (stretches),” Solo said.

“I have spoken to a handful of different teammates here and there at different levels. In the end, we are all professionals and have a common goal to qualify for the 2008 Olympics. I can only hope we place our differences aside because we have a job to do.

“It’s vital we respect each other on the field; we don’t have to be best friends off the field.”

The 25-year-ancient keeper from Richland, Wash., chuckled at the irony of the Olympics, for which the Americans must qualify in April, being staged in China.

“China is going to bring back a lot of memories for me, no doubt,” she said. “But I’ve been through a lot of worse things in life.”

Particularly the death of her father, Jeffrey. Would getting that gold medal in the Olympics ease the pain from the World Cup fiasco?

“My father was even more excited about this World Cup than I was,” she said, her voice cracking. “Looking back, it is not just gold medals that I have to celebrate his life and give back to his passing. If I never see a gold medal in my life, I will be doing what I can to make my father proud.”
