Harvard University School Suspends Soccer Team ... Over Sex-Rating Scandal

Published | Updated

Harvard University has suspended the men's soccer team for the remainder of the season after officials found that players had been creating detailed reports on women they'd like to bang.

An investigation was launched into the program over allegations the 2012 team had created a ranking system for Harvard's female soccer recruits -- detailing who they'd like to bang and why.

Officials say there was essentially a "scouting report" in which the women were rated on a number scale and assigned a hypothetical sexual position.

The school says the investigation showed the "report" wasn't limited to 2012 -- and continued into 2016.

So, Harvard's Dean, Drew Faust, dropped the hammer on team -- which is currently ranked #1 in the Ivy League -- canceling the final 2 games of the season and banning them from the NCAA tourney.

THE CRASH INQUIRY

She's admitted to years of alcohol and Rx drug abuse -- but Abby Wambach is staying mum when it comes to the mysterious 2014 car wreck in which she flipped an SUV and fled the scene.

We broke the story ... Wambach flipped her Range Rover just after midnight on June 28th, 2014. The car landed on a residential property -- causing damage to the front lawn.

Moments after the crash, a passerby who came upon the flipped car called 911 and said the driver had already left the scene. Abby told cops she walked home because she didn't have her cell phone and wanted to call a tow truck.

Unclear why she didn't flag down a motorist or knock on the door of the home where she flipped.

Despite the severity of the crash and the curious fact she left the scene -- cops say they had no reason to believe Abby was impaired and did not administer a DUI test of any kind.

But now with Abby admitting her life was out of control with booze and prescription drugs -- we had to ask her straight up ... were you intoxicated on the night of the crash?

Abby has never spoken about the crash to media ... and it's clear, she doesn't want to start now.

Neither Abby Wambach nor her wife will get the house in their divorce -- because Abby is selling it ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Abby bought the 4,000 square foot pad in Portland, Oregon back in 2012 ... one year before she tied the knot with Sarah Huffman. Sarah moved in when they got married in 2013.

But the couple split up after having trouble back in April -- and Abby put the place up for sale in August.

The place is AWESOME -- 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, breathtaking views and all the privacy you could want.

Wambach bought the place for $705k ... and she's listed it for $1.349 million. Not a bad profit if she can get it.

By the way, one of the coolest rooms in the house ... is the bar, which may be one of the reasons Abby is unloading it.

Hope Solo Trashes Sweden After Loss ... 'Bunch of Cowards'

Published | Updated

Hope Solo just went off on the Swedish soccer team ... reportedly calling them "a bunch of cowards" after Team USA lost in a penalty shootout.

An obviously pissed off Solo spoke with reporters directly after the game ... and said, "I’m very proud of this team. But I also think we played a bunch of cowards."

"The best team did not win today. I strongly believe that. I think you saw American heart. You saw us give everything we had today," reports SI.com's Grant Wahl.

When asked why she called Sweden "cowards" -- Solo explained said she wasn't impressed with their style of play ... especially the lack of passing.

"They dropped into a 50. They didn’t try and press. They didn’t want to open the game. And they tried to counter with longballs. We had that style of play when Pia was our coach. I don’t think they’re going to make it far in the tournament. I think it was very cowardly. But they won. They’re moving on, and we’re going home."

Stay classy, Hope.
