It was one of the most exciting match-up in the 20011 FIFA Women's World Cup, the quarter finals battle between the two power house team of the league, USA vs Brazil. It was a redemption for the USA team when they took the victory over the Brazil, as the game entered a 2-2 draw last Sunday, but the he penalty shoot out made the USA team way on their road to the semi-finals, 5-3.
The victory was redemption for the entire team but perhaps none more so than goalie Hope Solo.
In 2007, Solo was the United States goalkeeper, at least until she was pulled from the lineup heading into the semifinals against Brazil. The US lost 4-0 and Solo let loose an outburst that made her persona non grata among her teammates and many soccer fans.
