Hope Solo wants to be president of the U.S. Soccer Federation
by from on (#3A63W)

Last we heard from Hope Solo, in August, the U.S. women's soccer goalkeeper was reminding everyone that she was not retired even though she hadn't played competitively since the 2016 Rio Olympics, when the national team suffered a stunning quarter-final loss to Sweden on penalty kicks. After the game, Solo called the Swedish players "a bunch of cowards" for their defensive-minded tactics, which in turn led the U.S. Soccer Federation to suspend her for six months and terminate her national team contract. Solo had shoulder-replacement surgery while serving the suspension, and she turned 36 in July.
