The Brazilian journalists came running toward Hope Solo here on Saturday morning. As soon as the U.S. goalkeeper had finished an interview with me in the lobby of the team hotel, a top Brazilian TV network asked Solo if she would "send a kiss" on video to a male sports anchor back home who has become infatuated with her during the Women's World Cup.With Brazil's speed and skill up front, it's likely that Solo will have to make some big stops in the quarterfinal, not unlike the one she had in blocking the shot that Sweden's Lotta Schelin had on a breakaway early in Wednesday's game. In some ways, it's impressive that Solo is even on the field after returning early from major reconstructive shoulder surgery just in time for the World Cup. She now has 11 anchors holding her right shoulder together.
