As if losing the NWSL final wasn’t enough, Hope Solo was delivered more bad news on Friday. The World Cup champion will again face domestic violence charges after a Washington state appeals court reversed a lower court’s decision.

Solo initially faced two counts of domestic violence in the fourth degree after an incident involving her nephew and half-sister in June 2014.

"We are shocked and disappointed by the judge's ruling this morning," Todd Maybrown, Solo's attorney, said, per ABC7. "However, we maintain our position that the charges in this case should have never been filed, that the original trial court's dismissal of the case was correct, and we plan to file an appeal of today's decision with the Court of Appeals."

The question is: where does this leave Solo’s future with the national team?

U.S. soccer felt serious heat amid the 2015 World Cup in Canada for still featuring Solo between the posts. Richard Blumenthal -- a senator from Connecticut -- strongly urged the federation to reconsider her standing with the women’s national team.

"In the interim," Blumenthal wrote back in July, per USA Today. "I urge U.S. Soccer to reconsider Hope Solo's position as an active member of Team USA. As boys and girls tune in to Friday's game, watching the women on TV as role models, it sends exactly the wrong message to start Hope Solo at goal."

Despite winning the country’s third-ever World Cup, many of the same criticisms will reemerge, and rightfully so.

NFL players Ray Rice and Greg Hardy were forced to sit and wait amid their allegations, Solo should be no different. A World Cup trophy doesn’t exonerate you of any societal wrongdoing.
