The American goalkeeper was suspended by the USWNT for labelling their Swedish opponents as 'cowards' following the team's elimination in the Olympics.

Hope Solo has been struggling to keep her emotions to herself, both on and off the pitch.

A reaction from the controversial goalkeeper, who was recently banned from all activity with the USWNT, emerged online earlier today, as part of a documentary series involving the estranged goalie, Megan Rapinoe and Crystal Dunn.

Solo was involved in a number of controversies all summer. For starters, she shared her concerns about having to play in a country where the viral disease known as Zika could endanger their performance. Brazilian fans didn't take it well, prompting them to shout at the goalkeeper the name of the viral disease whenever she kicked the ball.

Once the USWNT was eliminated from the Olympic Football competition, Solo referred to their Swedish opponents as "cowards", given that they only laid back and waited to counter attack the Americans. These comments forced the USWNT to hand Solo a six-month ban, and ended up causing Solo's reaction below.
