Not to mention the unfortunate "One Nation, One Team" slogan. Again, who is advising these people? What were they thinking?

ouch. I'm always amazed how an individual can be around soccer their entire life, but be incompetent when it comes to coaching, tactics and managing a team.
To me it probably means, he never listened to coaches, never try to absord any information from the coaches he had in the past, and hasn't learned anything from a single coaching course.

And this at a time women's soccer in Europe has been improving by leaps and bounds as UEFA has poured in tons of money to help the women's game grow and the European clubs are taking full advantage. I hate to be pessimistic but it's possible we may not see another WC or Olympic final in a very long time ...

Number 9 must have been a doozy. Eight and a half years later and the joke still works. No number 9.
