VANCOUVER – Hope Solo will seek to put a difficult week behind her on Tuesday if, as expected, she equals the all-time United States record for most international appearances by a goalkeeper.

Solo, 33, endured a difficult week off the field as the World Cup got underway, as the subject of an ESPN Outside The Lines report regarding an alleged domestic violence incident from June 2014 that drew intense public scrutiny regarding her place on the team.
