Hope Solo, the goalie who was benched prior to Team USA's 4-0 shellacking at the hands of Brazil, has been quite vocal about just how wrong coach Greg Ryan was to make that decision. And although she's been criticized in some quarters for calling out Ryan and teammate Briana Scurry, there's one place where everyone seems to agree with Solo: Her MySpace page.
Solo's Friends Comments include:
hey hope!And:
I'm very upset about the decision your coach have made yesterday!and it's a pity that we can't see a final USA vs. germany I would have really enjoyed this!
I wish you the best for your future and that it was the last time for you sitting on the bench...

I want you to know that I'm 100% behind you. I think Coach Ryan made one of the 2 biggest coaching blunders in the history of sports (right along side Tretiak being benched in the 1980 Olympics in the USA/USSR hockey game, although I'm thankful for that one).And:
I truly believe that what your coach did was so WRONG!!The guy who makes the 1980 Olympics comment seems a little old for MySpace, but other than that, I think these comments are RIGHT!! Ryan really did screw this up.
