One of the most decorated players in modern history, Solo is a now a World Cup winner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, and two-time Gold Cup champion.
Arguably the best keeper in the modern era, Solo was named to the All-Star team for the second tournament in a row. The 33-year-old also won the Bronze Ball in 2011, awarded to the World Cup's third-best player.
