U.S. womens national team goalkeeper Hope Solo said she immediately apologized to Swedens captain for calling them cowards after their quarterfinal match at the Olympics this summer.Sweden eliminated the U.S. on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw, and Solo made international news for criticizing the Swedes defensive tactics during the match.But Solo said on Swedeish talk show Skavlan that opposing captain Lotta Schelin was not offended by her comments.I said to her, You know, Lotta, I said something. I used the word cowards when talking about you guys, and I didnt mean that. Im so sorry, Solo said. And she was like, Oh, I know you, dont worry about it. Dont worry about it.And shes like, Look, the American team has been in the last five championship games in the Olympics. Five championships! And shes like, For us to beat a better-skilled team like Brazil and like America, we had to drop back defensively.And she knew it, but for the most part, we just hugged and we laughed and she accepted my apology. She didnt even think I needed to apologize.Solo said she didnt mean to accuse the Swedish players and coaches of being cowards, but she stood by her critique of their strategy.I wasnt enraged, I wasnt emotional, I wasnt angry, Solo said. I just had this conversation with all of the journalists in the room after the game, and we were talking about the style of play.I didnt mean to come across that the players were cowards or the coach was a coward. I meant that the style of play was not very Olympic-spirited.I think Lotta Schelin is one of the best players in the world -- one of the best attacking players in the world. So it was really difficult to watch her drop back defensively, and I saw her most of the time in the 18-yard box in her defense.And I wanted her to attack me, I wanted to play against Lotta. I wanted to try to stop her shots. I love the competitive nature between America and Sweden.Dalvin Tomlinson Womens Jersey . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective.
