Hope Solo is something else, yo. She is the best goalkeeper in women's soccer, and yet she is also one of the most controversial. She is equal parts scary, talented and sexy.

Tim Howard went from just a goalie to a certified god among the American people this summer, by essentially morphing into a brick wall during U.S. Soccer's run at the 2014 World Cup. Howard was so good, in fact, that the #ThingsTimHowardCouldSave memes went viral even after a Team USA loss...
