Greg Ryan Booted Out After Losing Hope

Player power is on the rise, my friends. First, Steven Gerrard whines again like a spoilt brat after being substituted (all because he is a local lad and wants to stay on the pitch). Now, after outbursts by USA Women's keeper Hope Solo and a damning result in the Women's World Cup Finals, USA Women's team coach Greg Ryan has been fired.

All this despite losing only ONCE in over 50 games in charge.

And Martin Jol still gets to keep his job.
