GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -- Hope Solo isn't happy with Brandi Chastain's commentary during a U.S. women's soccer team victory at the Olympics.

The outspoken U.S. goalkeeper took to Twitter on Saturday to criticize comments Chastain made during the NBC broadcast of the Americans' 3-0 win over Colombia.

Solo was apparently unhappy with Chastain's criticism of U.S. defender Rachel Buehler.

Solo rattled off four tweets about Chastain. Among them: "Its 2 bad we cant have commentators who better represents the team&knows more about the game." Solo also told Chastain to "get more educated" and "the game has changed from a decade ago."

Chastain was one of the top all-time defenders for the U.S. team. She played in 192 international games from 1988 to 2004.
