U.S. Women's Soccer Coach Greg Ryan sacked?

Looking at the developments after the recently concluded 2007 Women's Soccer World Cup, it doesn't take a lot to get booted out of the team. Well... actually the one thing that got Soccer coach Greg Ryan "booted out" of the team was the one thing that probably cost the U.S. Women's Soccer team a shot at the 2007 World Cup!

U.S. National Soccer authorities have concluded recently that they will not be renewing Coach Ryan's contract and would let it expire till the end of the year. Coach Ryan owns an impressive win-lose record of 45-1 since taking over the team coach post in 2005.

One question I have though, hasn't anybody thought of the possibility that coach Ryan threw the game against Brazil? Sounds really far off but anything is possible!
