Default Re: US v Brazil women\'s soccer- 4th goal

It may not have mattered, but switching goalies seemed like a huge miscalculation. Hope Solo had just pitched three straight shutouts and the team was rolling.

My understanding is that the coach felt that Scurry's experience against the Brazilians along with her athleticism made her a better choice for this game than Solo. IMHO it sends a negative message to the team and throws things out of whack- similar to the NBA playoffs this year when Avery Johnson shuffled his starting lineup against the Warriors for Game 1.
