"U.S. Soccer relieves Tom Sermanni of duties" release just popped in my inbox — at 10 on a Sunday night, a couple hours after a win? #USWNT



Going to go out on a limb and guess that he probably got too "handsy" after a win.

Apparently, they has a really shitty performance in the Algarve Cup a month or so ago, but why fire him in the middle of this run of friendlies and not immediately after the tournament?

Does Jurgen have a sister? Might be worth tapping into if we have any female Germericans.

There are rumors that he had no direction, was a poor tactician, and the players weren't developing under him so that's why they sacked him


Sounds like Moyes.

Why do it immediately after tonight's game, though?

My best guess is they are worried about the WC and wanted it done as soon as possible.

Again just rumors, but Steven Goff tweeted that players might have approached Gulati about being unhappy

Did they suddenly get worried 2 hours after a win?

I doubt they fired him just based on a 2 hour decision made today. This was probably a long time coming.

They should bring back that German chick. We kicked arse with her.

My point, was that something must have happened to push the decision over the edge. They still have another friendly to play before a break.
