Hope Solo critica a la entrenadora de la USWNT Jill Ellis y a los porteros que la reemplazaron

La ex portera de la USWNT, Hope Solo, vuelve a estar en el foco de atención mientras cubre la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA 2019 para la BBC, y adivinen qué, tiene algo que decir.

A pesar de haber escrito en un artículo reciente para The Guardian, con respecto a que tres años alejada del juego, le han permitido "mirar las cosas desde una perspectiva imparcial y disfrutar del juego por lo que es y sin el dramatismo", Solo está intentando revolver la situación dentro del campo de la USWNT, al tiempo que destaca a las porteras y a la entrenadora del equipo, Jill Ellis.

Ronaldo Advises Matthijs De Ligt To Join Juventus During Nations League Trophy Presentation

For Cristiano Ronaldo, the path to UEFA Nations League glory was exceptionally similar to the one he trod to victory at Euro 2016.

The USMNT is ready to begin Gold Cup group play after putting the finishing touches on 180 minutes of the most pathetic soccer you’ll ever see.

Brazil Is Old But Gold, As Evidenced By Cristiane's Brilliant Hat Trick

With an average age of 26 years and six months across the board, this is the oldest makeup of players in the history of the Women’s World Cup. Brazil is a key contributor to that stat with the second-oldest squad in France, and the veterans include Mônica (32), Marta (33), Cristiane (34) and Formiga (41).

The Seleção kicked off its campaign today against Jamaica in Grenoble, and although Marta missed out due to a thigh injury, Brazil still triumphed 3-0 thanks to huge performances from Formiga and Cristiane.

Italy Wins Its First Women’s World Cup Match In 20 Years By Upsetting Australia At The Death

Australia, the dark horse candidate of many at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, suffered a shock defeat to Italy, making its first finals appearance since 1999, to begin Group C play in France. Australian captain Sam Kerr gave her side an early lead by following up her own saved penalty, but Italy’s Barbara Bonansea scored twice in the second half — including the winner five minutes into stoppage time — to give the Azzurre a dream start.
