Former United States Women's National Team goalie Hope Solo didn't hold back in her comments about head coach Jill Ellis on Saturday, telling the BBC Ellis, "cracks under the pressure."
“Jill is not the leader I wish her to be” Solo said. “She relies heavily on her assistant coaches. She cracks under the pressure quite a bit. But often that doesn’t matter because the quality of the players on the U.S. team is superb. It doesn’t matter who is coaching us because we will find a way to win. The United States knows how to find a way to win in spite of who the coach is.
