Goalkeeper Hope Solo will not play for the United States for six months after being banned for calling Olympic rivals Sweden "a bunch of cowards."<br />The 35-year-old World Cup winner made the remarks after her side lost 5-4 on penalties to the Swedes in the quarter-finals of Rio 2016.<br />US Soccer president Sunil Gulati said Solo's comments were "unacceptable."<br />Currently, Solo will only miss two games for the US against Thailand and the Netherlands next month.
