Hope Solo Post Game Interview Finals 2011 World Cup U.S. vs Japan Part 1

[hannzmoney]

That was very well said

[TheCFCSupporter]

@rohitsroya25 the keeper isn't expected to save it as much the player is expected to score. The blame usually falls upon the players that miss.

[rohitsroya25]

Just wondering if a team loses in the shootout does the GK get blamed most

[Zero91Hero]

It's easier to have sportsmanship when you lose embarrassingly.

[basketballskillz12]

Heartbreaking. Man....flat out heartbreaking

[cdinh40]

First of all Japan won the game. You (Hope Solo) did not give this game to Japan. American players could not shoot a goal. So don't say you gave this game to Japan. American players were much bigger, faster and stronger than Japanese players. 

[monasuper]

@cdinh40 Seriously!!! Show some respect dude! go back and listen to what she says!! She did say Japan DO deserve the win. She was genuine and pure class in this interview. And as for Americans "not shooting a goal" as you say, do me a favor and and go see the replay and count how many times US hit the bar in this game!

[619reggie]

made me cry man when was listening to her after the game....she was honest and had class

[nebosuke6969]

All Men player should learn something from women's game.

No cheating, No violence, just pure football game!

[OTHFOREVA]

Good sportsmanship Hope. Great game played by the whole team. Still a fan.

[TheSlorta]

i meant D. Rose in conference finales jus so yall donnt rip ma head off on that one

[TheSlorta]

i dont watch soccer cuz uhhh its soccer but it was womens soccer so its ok, kinda like its ok to watch womens vollyball anyway from what i saw the gurl was beastin all the way through that game but i think during the shootout thang she choked. kinda like D. Rose in the finales both great athletes just the pressure was so high but whatev U.S will be on top next time one of these things go down. and dont try to tell me she didnt choke cuz she did. but its all good she could whoop my ass at da game

[OTHFOREVA]

@TheSlorta how did she choke? penalty kicks are hard. as a goalkeeper you're expected to save 1 or 2 at most and she did. but the team missed THREE penalty kicks.

[TheSlorta]

@OTHFOREVA ya ik. same thang wit hockey im jus sayin she choked. but all great athletes do, like i said D. Rose LeBorn James Dwayne Wade they all some of my fav athletes but they all choked. anyways they gointo learn from there mistakes and win the next one

[rahchaves]

Japan is tough! babe!! uhuuuu!!

[spyin2]

thank u for posting this video, it makes her sympatic!!!! Really wonderful

[bobo3306]

Solo, great woman, I respect her.

And Wambach, is she realy woman? I can't belive.

HE's powerfull and great!! Why was he in there. She's No.1 Player.

I respect her too, great team and great mind, we lost..

We have luck..USA more stronger then Japan.

[housecry]

My heart breaks for them. Hope almost cried during the interview.

[Ryan4469]

Solo is a great person.I respect her.BTW I am Japanese.

[kybaee20]

@NeighborThunder Carli does too. She did play a part in getting us into this cup and the finals!

[eddieg227]

This is how a professional player answers these type of questions. I'm so proud of the USA team. I love you Hope Sole, you are beautiful.

[tuttkhan55]

class..



[11wormbig]

Aww...I was rooting for Japan while watching the game, but now I empathize with the US after watching their post-game talks. A lot of class in the face of defeat. Awesome to see.

[ARHassan15]

The U.S. Women's National Soccer Team: humble, hardworking, perservering, tough-minded & successul. They represented America in the best way. I love how Hope Solo & the rest of the U.S. team showed a ton of heart & class. Real Americans that serve as REAL role models & leaders for all. This is the American side most people don't see & will need to see how great this country can be. This demonstration of character & effort will hopefully lead to win a WC Final in 2015. Lookout world! Here they go

[laun8cher]

Japan was being defeated in the content of the game.

The maximum respect is presented to the sportsmanship of an American team.

From Japan

[rosiebiebersimpson]

@FCUKSL0W agreed completely. Tobin Heath should have come in for Lloyd, not rapinoe.

[sew9092]

where's part 2?

[jasonl6010]

Japan was better. They didn't deserve it, they took it. Typical entitled American

[peevesc]

OMG!!! heartbreaking!! we love you Hope!! we love our team!! next time its YOURS!!!

[marciab21]

my heartbreaks for the teamn i feel the same way if there was any team i would have like the usa to lose to it would be japan. congrats to them

[davlor86]

i like her humildity

[604kato]

That was 100% class.

[NationalMan]

I got a $100 that says she won't go back and watch the replay. :D

[SmallStepsYT]

You could hear at the end in her voice that she was tearing up :( She is an amazing role-model

[ZaidDezu]

In Mexico we love you Hope!

[CherrySweets0]

yeah, nice words.

just remember that you didn't give anything to anyone here. they deserved it.

so yeah.

abby is just so awesome and fair. i really admire her.

[dubbersubber]

love you, hope

[DoDo0823]

and why would USA do that huh? Japan played a wonderful game and so did the US, so just admit that you Americans lost and Japan won, don't be a sore loser you're just embarrassing yourself

[alluzn1]

guys WE LOST ON PURPOSE!!! DO THE RESEARCHHH!

[Rao665]

@alluzn1

ur a joek

[sabbebiebz]

hope you where great and iam your biggest fan here in sweden ! i cryed i bit when you team lose ! but japan whas great , big love to you hope!

[Footy26]

Incredible personality! The best female goalkeeper in the world!

[Kitsonbelle21]

Hope, You are amazing!

[rockmynerdyglasses14]

Gosh, I feel for her so much. Everytime I see this this makes me tear up. I love you hope!

[mnomoto1989]

As a Japanese fan, I have so much respect for Solo and Wambach after watching their post-game interviews.

If you want to show your children sportsmanship, show them this video.

[Txio01]

@mnomoto1989 true dat

[mailaay18]

she is truly amazing :) i hope this isnt her last world cup :)

[TheDPGizzy]

The best part about the game was the respect that the players of each team had for another. I saw players getting helped off the ground by opponents during the game. Hope is a great player and no, she didn't lose the game for the US.

[uhohitsbrendan]

Definition of sportsmanship.

[pjtr123]

thank you very much for the interview ! Could you upload the second part too, please? :)

[shadoobiehole]

She's so humble. Such a stand-up player.

[NeighborThunder]

the only US players that deserve to cry:

Hope Solo

Abby Wambach

Alex Morgan

Megan Rapinoe

Heather O Reilly

Christie Rampone

Rachel Bueler

Alex Krieger

[FCUKSL0W]

@NeighborThunder

and LLOYD

[NeighborThunder]

@FCUKSL0W mmm... Lloyd and Krieger to a certain degree...

[FCUKSL0W]

@NeighborThunder

LLOYD lost the game

everything she kicked was high and wide.

And Rapinoe shouldn't have been subbed she was the 2nd best player on the team behind Abby.

[NeighborThunder]

@FCUKSL0W almost all of lloyd's shots throughout the tournament where wide or high, but she did a big part in us even getting to the finals. her defense was solid and so was her possession. and as much as i love tobin, i agree with you, she shouldn't have come into the game. but that's the coach's decision not hers

[FCUKSL0W]

@NeighborThunder

It was #17 Health not Tobin.

Megan Rapinoe is not getting enough credit witch is sad because without her there's no PK's over Brazil.

Rapinoe = Awesome

[NeighborThunder]

@FCUKSL0W yes, tobin. as in tobin heath(that's her full name). and again, as much as i like tobin, she shouldn't have come into the game. i agree rapinoe should have stayed in

[PrettyLittleLiars31]

is part 2 coming...?

[purplenurplecomedy]

Way to have class we love you hope!

[raosunokeshi]

she has great personality,,,,

[PrettyLittleLiars31]

@raosunokeshi

omggg i LOVE her personality!!!

[fibetribe]

@raosunokeshi Great personality? "If theres any team i'd give it to, it would be Japan"

Fuck her sense of entitlement. You lost.

[Jruss2MVP]

@fibetribe You're trying way too hard to hate on her..

[fibetribe]

@Jruss2MVP Sorry for stating the obvious...
