    Observations...

    Hope Solo is hot...

    I covered the 1999 World Cup and Aaron was outstanding to deal with... Although, most PR guys are great to deal with when every story is a warm and fuzzy one...

    Brianna Scurry sucks...

    Most college SIDs are the PR equivalent of Nazis...

    Insightful. Care to elaborate? I mean, I know giving up four goals to a better side might cause the claws to come out, but seriously ...

    Nazis? Really? I don't think I'd go that far.
     
  4. Hope Solo was 100 percent right. I hope the coach is fired.

    I think Solo's comments took some of the heat off the coach, who probably made one of the most idiotic coaching moves in the recent history of sports...

    This would be the equivalent of benching Josh Beckett in the playoffs.

    The argument here is much the same as the one involved with the Plain Dealer reporter blasting his company online.

    You're making the main point the original, admittedly stupid action of the coach.

    And the real point is the action taken by the player, of blasting her coach and, more specifically, her teammate.

    Solo's not nearly that accomplished.

    OK, it's like benching Jonathan Papelbon.

    What was her win streak at when she was benched? Didn't she have a scoreless streak going as well?

    Dumbest move ever...

    She gave up 2 in the opener to North Korea, including a ball that went right through her hands. Then she put together 3 shutouts. Scoreless streak of 298 minutes.
