The first time Hope Solo ever came to my attention was in the 2008 Olympics.  I can’t claim I noticed though, I actually am not sure I watched any Women’s Soccer that year. I had a friend though, who was aware of both my love of the Olympics and my tendency to find and become at least briefly obsessed with some of the athletes.  She told me, “The Goal Keeper for the US Women’s Soccer team could do things to me”.  She probably started or ended it with, “Mmmmmm gawd” because that’s her but I can’t swear by it.  I am paraphrasing really.  Anyway, that is how I became aware of Hope Solo.  The chorus of people who find her attractive has only grown since then.  I certainly get it, she has a quality about her that goes beyond just her looks that makes her very appealing.  Probably a mix of attitude and ability.  Either way, I get it, and yesterday I saw an ad for a watch (the lowest picture) and my first thought was, “Hope Solo really wants some people I know to buy a watch” because I saw that picture and was pretty sure a number of my friends would pretty much do anything she told them to after seeing that.  I get that too because she is… a presence, there is a command to her.  Anyway, normally there would need to be some big match for the national team for her to show up here but there wasn’t, there was just a picture of her and a watch but whatever the reason today I want to fuck Hope Solo.
