The National Team: The Inside Story of the Women Who Changed Soccer (Caitlin Murray)

Chapter 20: "We Played a Bunch of Cowards"

After briefly providing context for head coach Jill Ellis's roster selections for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, Murray shifts focus to the U.S. Women's National Team's uncharacteristically early exit from that competition. More specifically, Murray reports on goalkeeper Hope Solo's controversial post-game comments about Sweden's tactics in the quarterfinals and her subsequent ban from the USWNT program.
