Coach Greg Ryan made perhaps the dumbest coaching move in American soccer history. Hope Solo should never been pulled from goal by someone who did not play in three months. It is worse than that: This moron planned this for months yet did not play Scurry leading up to the World Cup, not even as a substitute during the World Cup. As General Patton said, \"Americans love a winner, and will not tolerate a loser.\" Ryan should have asked his players before the game that MATTERED if Solo should have been pulled, not \"unite\" them against her. It is time that American soccer fans stop accepting losing on the women\'s or men\'s side, and stop accepting the same boring brand of soccer both genders play. RYAN MUST GO!

Worst coaching decision I have ever seen. Cost us the tournament plain and simple. Get him out.
