After years honing her craft on the pitch, this week Hope Solo made her debut analyzing the beautiful game for the Irish TV station RTE as part of their 2018 World Cup coverage.
Hope made her RTE premiere as part of a panel that also included pundit Richie Sadlier and former Irish footballer Keith Andrews along with host Peter Collins to break down the Round of 16 action between Brazil and Mexico.
Tune into @RTE2 at 2.30pm for live coverage of #BRA v #MEX.

Hope then fired off some bold predictions for the next few rounds, forecasting a Brazil/France semifinal, whose winner may well win the World Cup.
