Happy Birthday Hope!

Yesterday was Hope Solo's 27th birthday. Hard to believe the kid who started in goal for the USA at the U-16 and U-18 levels is 27, but that's just entering the prime for a goalkeeper. Hope got a big cake at dinner and in a unique twist, Happy Birthday sung in four languages: English (teammates), Chinese (team liaison), Swedish (Pia Sundhage) and her teammates even took a crack at Spanish, courtesy of Stephanie (Lopez) Cox and Heather Mitts (who really didn't know the words, but kept singing really loudly anyway).
