Hope Solo missed election to the Soccer Hall of Fame for the second year in a row.
Considered by many to be one of the greatest American goalkeepers, Solo’s omission sparked considerable pushback online.
Hope Solo is the GOAT USA goalkeeper. For her to be passed over again for election to the National Soccer Hall of Fame is embarrassing.— Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl) June 10, 2021

Alyse LaHue, General Manager of NJ/NY Gotham FC, specifically called out Solo’s absence from this year’s Hall of Fame class.
I voted for Hope. I don’t know how you don’t. She is one of the greatest ever to play the position. Not just in the U.S., not man or woman, ...just one of the greatest ever. https://t.co/F4DIb2rNJ6— Alyse LaHue (@alahue) June 10, 2021

Christie Pearce Rampone and Steve Cherundolo led the 2021 Hall of Face ballots, with Solo trailing in third by two votes. Solo is now a heavy favorite to be inducted into next year’s ceremony.
