No coach has ever pulled a goaltender out in the middle of the world cup semifinals that has a 300 minute scoreless streak going.
That said, US loses the game no matter who is in goal this game. The own goal would not have been stopped by Solo, and Marta puts away at least 1 of the 2 goals she scored against Solo as well. US was screwed by losing the player to the horrible red card call, and Solo would have kept it closer but they still would have lost.
