Hope Solo's appearance on Saturday during the group stage match against France at the Rio Olympics will be her 200th appearance for the U.S. women's national team. The 200th game would make her the first goalkeeper in history to reach that milestone in international play. Last month, Solo became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the United States defeated South Africa 1-0 at Chicago's Soldier Field.
