The U.S. goalkeeper has been exiled from the squad until February after referring to Sweden as "cowards" following the Americans' Olympic quarterfinal exit.
The tense relationship between U.S. Soccer and Hope Solo has taken a dramatic turn.
Solo has been suspended from the U.S. national team for six months because of her comments following the Americans' loss to Sweden in the Olympic quarterfinals, U.S. Soccer announced Wednesday, with the federation citing "conduct that is counter to the organization's principles."
The 35-year-old criticized a Sweden side led by former U.S. coach Pia Sundhage earlier this month in Brazil, blasting the defend-and-counter approach that led to a 1-1 draw before the Americans were eliminated in penalties.
