But what she said about the coach's decision still goes

In their biggest game of the year, the coach of the U.S. women's soccer team decides to yank his shutout-pitching goalie and play someone else. Decision backfires. Yanked goalie (Hope Solo) criticizes the coach, and receives criticism in return. She apologizes for any perceived criticism of the woman who replaced her in goal; but she stands by what she said about the coach's decision.

And good for her! The coach was nuts, pulling someone who'd pitched 3 shutouts in the last 4 games. Miss Solo was being honest; and she stood by what she said. Refreshing these days...
