Hope Solo ESPN Body Issue: Power Ranking USA Soccer Star's Pictures

Team USA women's soccer goalie Hope Solo is becoming a rock star, and her latest cover shot pictures in the 2011 ESPN Body Issue are only going to stir up more hype for beautiful athlete.

That's the key with Solo: She's undoubtedly beautiful, but she's also a tremendous athlete.

After leading Team USA all the way to the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup finals and losing to Japan, Solo has captured the heart of the sports world and beyond.

She became a household name with her tremendous play and story in the World Cup, but now she's elevated to rock star status.

She's currently a contestant on the super popular TV show Dancing With The Stars, and is seemingly anywhere and everywhere at the same time. 

Be it a late-night talk show, SportsCenter, or the cover of the 2011 ESPN Body Issue.

Solo really strutted her stuff in the latest body issue. She had a cover shot, but also took a few other pictures that were featured in the magazine.

Here's a power ranking of her ESPN Body Issue pictures:

3. Cover Shot

Granted Solo still looks beautiful in this picture, but I don't think they should have used this as the cover shot. Truthfully, she looks somewhat scary. A tough chick is always going to be sexy, but she looks like she wants to kill me.

2. Watering the Lawn

Can you imagine waking up and looking outside only to see Hope Solo in her birthday suit watering the lawn. I mean, perhaps it was really hot outside, and the grass does need to be watered either way.

1. All-American Beauty

In my opinion this picture personifies why we love Solo so much here in the United States. She is both beautiful and powerful. Sexy yet shy, athletic yet still ladylike. She's captured the hearts and minds of America.
