Why Hope Solo ranks #54 in Football
Hope Solo ranks 54th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 159th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 909 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2000–2016 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, olympic gold medals 2, usa caps 202, international clean sheets 102.
Immediately ahead sits Ian Rush on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kevin De Bruyne on 85.7. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
