If she (Jill Ellis) is pleased with the way we played tonight then what the hell is she doing coaching our US team" -

I know a former assistant for the USWNT who resigned just to not work underneath her because she's a terrible coach.

Skrong words

It's hilarious to me that Ellis insists on a 4-4-2, yet she continually (before W.C. also) put a 3rd forward (Press) in at mid. Why not make it simple and go with a 4-3-3?

Of course, with all this criticism (also coming from former coach Tony Decicco) it's almost certain she'll stick to her guns and keep doing the same thing. It seems very Les Miles-ish to me.

It was just the latest in a series of events where Ellis' comments and in-game actions do not match up. The words that she speaks almost never align with what happens on the pitch, or what players she selects for her team.


This must be something that Sunil Gulati explicitly seeks out when filling a coaching position.

That article was depressing. We have four number tens and no defensive midfielders or good box to box players.

Lol, i know you don't know my profession .... but i can promise you im not full of shite. I run in tight circles.

I don't post much on this board just because its enough of my life as it is.

If you don't believe me, no problem. I don't care.

Haven't we used the UNC Lady's coach.... you know the program that takes top talent and then lays waste to everyone.

Swanson at Virgina, Waldrum with the Houston Dash and DiCicco are the three best options.

Krikorian at Florida St. wouldn't be a bad option either. All are great. Dorrance at UNC has a little baggage from some rumors about his time there.

That article makes me think we could be eliminated from this World Cup by a Germany-Brazil type of beat down. Yikes.

Just on the surface I get the same feeling watching this team as I did Brazil last summer. Super talented expected to win but can't seem to put it together.
