I know. I think it must be because she's one of the best known female footballers in the world so viewers had a good chance of knowing who she is. And all the nonsense didn't get reported here. I only know cos of the mostly-American board that I'm on. A lot of US fans regard her as a bit of an embarrassment.

I've never heard of Hope Solo (but then I couldn't name a Lioness either!) but having just caught a few moments of the spiel round the table with Gabby, I thought she came over quite well! I am amazed at her back story as discussed upthread. Is she a bit of a Tonya Harding character?

A bit yeah. 'Win at all costs' fits her pretty well. She was a great keeper, don't get me wrong. Just a horrible person.

Why isn't Rapino playing?

Now amazingly, because I know NOTHING about this game, in the two minutes I heard Hope Solo talking, she said Rapino doesn't have the stamina to hold out against some Lioness or other (didn't catch that name!) for 90 minutes. But given what I now know about her character, that may not be true, LOL.

Is she the England goalkeeper? At the round table they were talking about the England one having some sort of injury and being replaced but I start to zone out very quickly so not sure of any details. But Hope was confident about the replacement!!!!

Yes well..... Telford isn't a bad keeper but she doesn't control the box the way Bardsley does.
We need to calm down and start thinking. We are letting them boss us in midfield at the moment.

.....US deservedly lead at half time.....they look fitter and more together as a team....sadly England will struggle more as the match goes on.....
