Hope Solo's World Cup: Strong in the goal, silent to the media

It's been a quiet Women's World Cup for Hope Solo.

On the field, the U.S. goalkeeper has been called on to make just 11 saves in five games. And off the field, she's been all but inaudible, answering just three questions after giving up a goal in the opening match.

She hasn't answered another question nor allowed another goal since, making her the only keeper in the World Cup who has more shutouts than questions answered.

"Each player can make their own decision in regards in speaking to the media," a U.S. Soccer spokesman said of Solo, the lone American player who refuses to stop on her way from the locker room to the team bus after games.
