  • Greg Ryan is a peice of shit. Any other country would have booted him right away, I know England would've

  • Pia Sundhage is a better coach than Greg Ryan or even April Heinrichs.

    Why? Even when the U.S. lost to Norway in their first Olympic match, Pia didn't panic and pushed all the right buttons.

  • Ryan's dumbass decision cost them a World Cup

  • April Heindrichs was way worse.

  • He's head women's soccer coach at Michigan. They lost their first game to Notre Dame 7-0 and tied some small school.

  • Julie Foudy's calm assessment proved to be on total target, stretching all the way through the Olympics! Congrats, Julie, for such an exceptional set of remarks...

  • So what is Greg Ryan doing now? Since her was fired after the consequences of this awful and close to bizarre decision?

  • Hope Solo is a great goalie.

    The comments for which most of the team ostracised her were less criticism of Curry than confidence that she would have made the saves that, on that day and with no game time, Curry couldn't.

    Those weren't the remarks of an egotist, only a competitor. Well, in the Olympics Brazil watched her make 8 outstanding saves, one on one, against their greatest players. The US won the Gold. Greg Ryan wasn't wearing the coach's hat. Sometimes, life is fair.

  • i think its funny that he said that the confidance doesn't matter how can anybody win anything no matter how big the game is if they didnt' have confidence??

  • Solo got exactly what she deserved.  They are a team. They succeed together and they fail together. Solo should have been kicked off the team after her comments.

    I find it ironic that her name is Solo. Not really cut out for a team sport I would say.

  • Hahahaha.  Oops.
