There was nothing wrong with how Sweden played but you just lost in the quarter finals of the Olympics as the heavy favourites - you should be pissed off.
Of course not, but thats the nature of sports. Hope Solo has been a pain in the USWNT's ass for years now, all those comments did was finally throw US soccer a bone and give them a good enough reason to finally get rid of her.

The team, the Organization and the country need to move on from Hope Solo but she was holding on tooth and nail until she finally gave them an excuse.

This is called: 'using someone's ridiculous pride that has been tarnishing the organization against them to get what you want.'

USWNT comes out of this looking reasonable and squeaky clean!

"Hey we made her apologize and banned her for what amounted to 2 games, the rest of this hysterical overreaction is 100% on her and has nothing to do with us."

You can even mentally picture them literally and figuratively washing their hands of Hope Solo.
