Well, well, well, it might be too late, but after the US Women's national team lost 4-0 against Brazil after the Worl Cup semi finals yesterday, it looks like coach Greg Ryan feels the heat. His coaching is very critized and now ex-players want Ryan gone.

In public statement today, former stars Brandi Chastain, Julie Foudy and Mia Hamm said the coach failed on tactical and motivational levels. "People say this is a step back, but I think Greg Ryan has put us three steps back – all the way to the starting gate," said Chastain. "He lacks the ability to communicate and is not in tune with his players, and he's obviously not a tactician or he wouldn't have made the decisions he did".

What's your opinion about this ?

Too bad. The girls of the U.S. National Women's team won't make it. The Americans were defeated 4-0 by Brazil in the semi-final of the World Cup, in China. It's hard and the score is severe. An "autogoal" on corner to start, an unfair red card on Boxx...Then the Brazilians did the rest, and we have to admit they're a strong team. I bet on them against Germany for the final.

So the Americans will face Norway for the 3rd place match, on sunday. Probably one of the saddest game to play in a career. Especially if you lose it. So Long, and thank you !

Wambach, Boxx and Lilly. Three girls, three names, three goals. And the United States National Women's team moves to the World Cup Semi-Finals. 3-0 against England, the Americans couldn't dream better. Not only was there no contest of their superiority on the field, but it's excellent news on the psychological front, in a competition where moral and determination is as important as physical conditions. Now, among the last four teams remaining, everything is possible.

The USA will play Brazil on Sept. 27 at Dragon Stadium in Hangzhou (live on ESPN 2 at 8.00 am US Eastern Time). The Brazilian won against a strong Australian team 3-2 in the quarter finals. On September 26th, the other semi-final will be a European confrontation between Germany and Norway. Who wants to bet ?
