    Hope Solo just admitted this was on purpose and a tactic from the trainers/her to stress the Swedish player out:

    https://www.foxsports.com.au/olympics/usas-goalkeeper-hope-solo-changed-gloves-before-swedens-winning-penalty-shootout-kick/news-story/10a43f80ad48cc3835fc9cb80a8728d8

    After the match, Solo didn’t hold back in her assessment of the opposition.

    “We played a bunch of cowards,” Solo told Sports Illustrated. “The better team did not win today. I strongly believe that. I think you saw American heart. You saw us give everything we had today.”


    Sow what is this "american heart" exactly? Cheating? Being a weasel?

    Fuck that shit.


    Who gives a shit?
    Much like the current "controversy", no one that matters.

    Can the women's team beat the men's team? 
    The Thai women kept it a lot closer than the US women could do against the men's team.

    I would think there isnt many reasons why it would matter so little bu you still have to comment on how little it matters.

    it seems to matter enough for Solo to talk about it several years later. And she is a US soccer play. And this is a US soccer thread. 

    So. Yeah. Why would i matter so little then But you still having to come in here commenting on How little it matters?

    Dumb article and independent of the point, but Hope Solo is a trash person.

    and she was the first to sue USSF over pay disparity.

    You should get banned for calling me "dumbfuck". 

    But other than that, where here "immediately after the game" does she admit they faked her gloved being broken to stress the person ready to kick the penalty?

    Please point it out to me? i would love to know @mickeyrat

    Which I also don't necessarily agree with because the women certainly don't make the USSF as much money as the men do.

    I m not a fan of her’s but I don’t think she did anything wrong.  Like I said, getting in your opponents head is apart of the game.  And it s not like she s playing in the World Cup so again, who cares?

    So, you still haven't reread my post - I TOLD YOU I BOLDED THE PART TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND IT IS CURRENT.

    But do you still not understand? Or do you rather keep writing with your preconceived notion instead of re-reading the post like you were asked to? THIS TIME WITH BOLDED TEXT LIKE I TOLD YOU to make it easier for you because you had problems understanding the post.

    Why would it be so hard to just re-read it like I told you - NOW WITH ADDED BOLDED TEXT?

    The article was for fucking context and to point out her then bullshit. As evident my me writing "she JUST admitted THIS was on purpose (back then)"

    ENGLISH IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE.

    Why didn't you post the article where she JUST declared the reason for delay rather than the old one? That's what's confusing,  not your effective use of the bold function.  I still don't think anyone that matters,  cares.

    ummm she changed gloves and got some water. show me in your linked article where it says they were "broke". further, in general, show where goalies dont try to psych out their opponent during pk's or shoot outs?

    and what does a former player have to do with this years world cup team?
    hmm, riddle me that.

    You are moving goalposts and trying to talk away the topic. If they were described as broke or not in the article linked doesn't matter.

    But sure let me rephrase: 

    You should get banned for calling me "dumbfuck". 

    But other than that, where here "immediately after the game" (in your tweet) does she admit she went and changed her gloves (for whatever reason) as a planned tactic to stress the person ready to kick the penalty?

    still missing the point of a 3 year old article about a now fired former player, who during her last time employed a tactic common amongst goalies in any league, but this one game for a world championship.
    WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT?

    Why are you unable to answer my question? 

    I mean you called me a "dumbfuck" for not seeing that she admitted to doing it as a tactic "immediately after the game". So if one even is a "dumbfuck" for not being able to see it in the tweet - then wouldn't it be very easy for you to point out where in the quote it is said?

    And read some posts in this thread if you do not understand what the point of linking an old article was. It should not be this hard for you.
