    Scurry

    So she's questioning the coaches decision just like Solo....no news or anything:

    "I'm definitely disappointed," Scurry said of not making the final squad of 18. "I feel I came into this year and worked really hard and was in some of the best shape I've been in. I competed from the first day."

    "We were told it would be a clean slate for everybody," Scurry said. "I've played in only one game. I don't know if that looks like an opportunity to anybody, but it didn't feel like one to me."

    "I would be blind if I didn't see the writing on the wall," she said. "I'm enthusiastic and I'm an optimistic person, but I'm not naïve."

    "They [Solo and Barnhart] probably both kick the ball five or 10 yards farther than me, I guess. It's a slightly different style of play, but the style I've done has obviously worked.

    "At the end of the day, in all the major world championships for men and women, it does end up being about shot stopping."

    "It sure as heck didn't in training," she said. "I was the healthiest one of the three all year and brought it to training every day. I feel like I worked and I was one of the fittest ones. Hope and I were the fittest of the goalkeepers every time we ran any kind of fitness training test or anything like that.

    "So I don't think age played a factor. If it did, you would have thought it would have been in my favor" because of experience.

    She needs to hang up the gloves and boots. Her glory days are over and it's time to become a coach and mentor for young people.

      Why isn't there an uproar here? Where are the people who were all over Solo?

      What about the old stars, what aren't they complaining? After all didn't she just knock the backup keepers fitness!

        Scurry's situation is a little different from Solo's. One, she didn't make the team, so she wasn't speaking as a team member. Two, she didn't make inflammatory comments in the middle of a tournament. I personally don't mind her comments; she has had a long and stellar career and deserves to be heard.

            I don't see the root problem.
