    Looking for top goalkeeper performances from a USWNT gk. Obviously 1999 final is in there. I really loved Solo's save in 2012 against Canada, albeit a friendly. Any other suggestions?

    Are you thinking of one crazy save or a goalkeeper's performance through a whole game?

    Well more a whole game but if there's an intense save I'm definitely interested. But if it's a 1-0 game obvious;y that one save was really important.

    Some initial thoughts about GK performances in Olympics and WWCs:

    --Scurry vs. Brazil in 1999 WWC semifinal (she had more to do in that game than the final; and Lilly's save in the final outshone Scurry's saves in the game although Scurry's pk stop was obviously huge)
    --Scurry vs Brazil in 2004 Olympic final
    --Solo vs. Brazil in 2008 Olympic final (great performance but also because of the 2007 drama/storyline)
    --Solo vs Japan in 2012 Olympic final
    --Solo in 2015 WWC game vs Australia
    --Hamm in 1995 WWC group game vs Denmark...ha, just kidding! But she did have to make a save!

    I'm sure someone else will come along with other games I'm forgetting.

    That's the one that came immediately to mind for me.
