SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — Social media is finding little to like about the likeness on a plaque honoring retired soccer champion Brandi Chastain.

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in San Francisco unveiled the plaque on Monday night. Chastain diplomatically said “it’s not the most flattering. But it’s nice.”

On Twitter, fans compared the likeness to former President Jimmy Carter or actor Gary Busey.

2. That looks absolutely NOTHING like her.

Did the sculptor try to recreate her face entirely from memory? Geez.

3. Oh my

And they did not know whether anyone in this country was going to show up for the women’s World Cup that year. It was awesome! That said this artist should have figured out around middle school that they sucked at this

4. And they showed up, bigly!

I will never, ever forget that game.

5. What's with it about the sports worlds' concept of good art?

They need to stop going to these second rate artists. Is saving a few bucks that important?

All of those pieces are u-u-u-u-u-u-u-g-l-y.

6. Before I read the caption

I thought that Chastain was standing in front of a Babe Ruth plaque

7. You can order anything on the internet.

What you get isn't always what you wanted.

8. Did they hire the same artist who made that Lucille Ball statue a few years back?

I thought that was some kind of joke or photoshop............ who in their right mind would put out something like that? VERY disrespectful for Ms. Chastain!
