The former goalkeeper recalls the USWNT referring to themselves as 'The Ponytail Posse' due to their predominantly similar appearances and backgrounds
Hope Solo has taken aim at U.S. Soccer - in particular the USWNT - stating that 'something is broken' as the women's national team is made up almost entirely of 'the white girls next door'.
The ex-goalkeeper claims that a former team-mate confided in her, telling her that she felt a coach had a problem with the color of her skin, and that that was the first of many similar conversations.
Solo feels that the whole process of getting young players involved in the game needs a complete overhaul, pointing to statistics and a poor scouting system that only scrapes the surface of potential talent.
