I mean, with a name like that, she should be pissing in people's mouths at Star Wars conventions.

Hope Solo doesn't deserve to even be in the same sentence with him. I can live with mouthy off the field, because I can choose to just watch the matches (I still don't like it). Joey Barton forces his shit down my throat because he does it in the middle of the game.
I'm a hockey fan above all else. I have absolutely no problem with "temper on the pitch." Those types have a place most sports--particularly because that's also a trait that's fairly easy to exploit for opposing players. That's how it balances out. But, if you don't like the Barton comparison, then howsabout "Chad OchoCinco Johnson" or "Terrell Owens"? Hope Solo is all about Hope Solo--precisely the same mouthy, showy, LOOK AT ME animal. I despise athletes I can't escape from on non-game-days. She's one of them. I guess what it boils down to is, I can live with a douchbag on the pitch/ice/field. If you insist on being a douchebag in every other public space (usually to promote something, if only itself), you're likely just a plain ol' douchebag. She's on that list.
As for talent, there just aren't enough strong women's teams worldwide to talk about her like she's the next Edwin van der Sar.
As for final Olympic debacles...
Russell Brand...really?

And no, she doesn't have the resume of some of the top men's keepers, but she can only play against the available talent pool. Not her fault she is head and shoulders above the other current women's keepers.
I understand why she annoys you; I just find I can pretty much ignore that aspect of most athletes. Different strokes.
And what, you don't love Russell Brand? He is one of the great British singers, right?

The light show was incredible, the whole stadium was involved. Before we got a close look at the seats, I joked about having every person in attendance wearing a hat with a light bulb on top...then I noticed that was precisely what the dudes lighting the aisles of the Union Jack on the ground were wearing.

Up here we like him because of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and cuz of the Katy Perry thing. Other than that, we don't know him from Adam.

This was the local club and the name of the tournament was "Poke-Madness". The goal was to get as many games in as you could, each had to be against a different opponent. It was about introducing people more than competing. I think the winner got a pack of deck sleeves.
