Solo Sounds England Alert

(Soccer365.com) U.S. Women’s National Team keeper Hope Solo has warned observers not to expect an easy road to the World Cup final four past England, who they face in Saturday’s quarterfinal.

The 26-year old made a key stop late in their group capping win over Nigeria, and will now get set to face former teammate Kelly Smith and the rest of the 3 Lionesses.

“They know how to break down a team by knowing when to go forward, when to go back,” offered Solo. “They are just organized team.”

“I played with Kelly Smith in Philadelphia (in the WUSA), so I know a lot of her tricks,” she noted.

“She is one of my favorite players to watch, one of the classiest players I've ever played with and I have the utmost respect for her.”
