A man who never should have been the coach

Attempting to deflect the tremendous criticism that has rained down upon him, Coach Ryan has made statements that would make any magician proud, misdirecting the audience’s attention away from his coaching errors of historic proportions and toward the 26 year-old goalkeeper who has brought Coach Ryan so much positive press for the past several years.

In an effort to set the record straight and to refocus attention on what we believe should be the context in which this situation is understood, we feel the need to tell you what you do not read in the sports pages.
We believe the public should know what the players and the people involved in this controversy know. The history that has brought us what was an inevitable fall from grace caused not by the players on the Women’s National Team but by the US Soccer Federation, its leadership, and a man who never should have been the coach.
