Elisabeth Loisel Let Go From Chinese National Team
From this page.
BEIJING (AFP) - China's Football Association has decided to end bitter infighting on the women's national team by firing French coach Elisabeth Loisel, reports said Thursday.
Football association leaders met in Beijing earlier this week and decided to fire Loisel, 44, less than five months after giving her the task of leading the team to a silver medal at this summer's Beijing Olympics, the reports said.
An association official declined to confirm the reports to AFP but said that an announcement would be made in the coming days.
Sina.com, a popular news website, said the decision brought to an end the darkest period in the history of Chinese women's football, marked by poor results and public disputes between the coach and team officials.
Loisel has endured a fractious relationship with players and officials during her five months in the job, with problems coming to a head after China finished ninth in the recent Algarve Cup in Portugal.
The coach went on vacation in France following the Portuguese tournament and had been expected to report back here for team duty next week.
The association will have to pay Loisel about 800,000 yuan (113,000 dollars) in compensation for ending her contract early, according to the Beijing News, which quoted an official as saying "we would rather pay the money than have her back."
Loisel took over in October 2007 after her predecessor, Swedish coach Marika Domanski-Lyfors, abruptly quit after a poor run in the women's World Cup last year and amid reports of disputes with association bureaucrats.
Loisel, the former French national coach, blamed her problems in China on the team's general manager Zhang Jianqiang whom she accused of sabotaging her work.
China is now searching for their fifth women's football coach since the Athens Olympics less than four years ago.
According to media reports, the association now plans to appoint a Chinese coach.

NSCAA Women's Committee Algarve Cup Symposium
Due to the wonderful generosity of one of our members, the NSCAA Women's Committee was able to sponsor Erin Lycan's trip to our Algarve Cup Symposium. Former US national team coach, April Heinrichs, and US national team psychologist, Dr. Colleen Hacker, presented to the group. Pia Sunhage appears to have stopped by as well.
We're looking forward to the full details, but until Erin puts together her write-up, here are a few pictures she took!
(There's Erin in the middle with April and Colleen.)

Patraw whistle blower complaint dismissed
Click here for the entire article.
Nevada State Personnel Commission Administrative Hearing Officer Bill Kockenmeister has dismissed the Whistle Blower complaint filed by former Nevada women's soccer coach Terri Patraw.
The lawsuit that Patraw has filed against the school and several of its officials is still pending. Patraw was effectively fired by the school before the start soccer season last fall.
"It appears to the undersigned administrative hearing officer, based on a review of the extensive written record and the demeanor of the numerous witnesses, that Petitioner (Patraw) was terminated because of the reasons discussed by Ms. Groth," said Kockenmiester in releasing his decision. "That is, that Petitioner consistently failed to follow the directions of her supervisors, (associate athletic director) Ms. (Cindy) Fox and (athletic director) Ms. (Cary) Groth, that Ms. Groth lost confidence in Petitioner after the anonymous emails were sent, and that Petitioner's constant threats of resignation and complaints about her salary had a negative impact on the athletics department."
"We expected this decision based on the facts," Groth said. "We are pleased with the decision and we will continue to focus our energies on moving our program forward with integrity."

Kindred spirits in soccer, fans of the beautiful game…
Welcome to the first installment of the Women’s Professional Soccer Commissioner’s blog, where you can expect to hear everything you read in the press releases repeated in my flowery words. Okay, not so much…
Instead, let’s get real and set a tone early that I’ll endeavor to take you up the elevator to the board room, inside the locker room, and put your toes on the sidelines to bring you closer to the story behind the story. I’ll share insights into the inner workings of our new league that the average fan (you) would actually find quite compelling. Or at least entertaining.
All with the goal of not losing my job in the process, of course.
So first and foremost, so that the topics covered in this blog are truly interesting as we birth this league with a due date of April 2009…what is on your mind about Women’s Professional Soccer?
What do you really want to know about the new league? What do you need to see, hear or believe in to become the biggest, most passionate, rabid fan of WPS or a WPS team that you can be? Or alternatively the biggest naysayer. Hey, I’ll take those too, as long as you’re talking about us.
Because just like Uncle Sam says, we need you.
Maybe you thought WUSA was great, maybe you didn’t. Or you didn’t even know that much about it to care. But this time around, pay attention. And if you believe, don’t be shy. Show your true colors.
And not to be too cheesy, but in each of these installments you’ll see a real customer promise, from us to you, the fan:
WPS will earn your respect with hard work on and off the pitch, dazzling feats of athleticism and fitness and gutsy competition every game, and old-school sports entertainment by amazing women with heart--who simply love the game and their fans.
We’re WPS and our journey has begun. So send in those questions and get on our train. Not because we deserve it, but because you the fan do.
Pia Sunhage from the Algarve Cup
The United States defeated Italy 2-0 this weekend. Head Coach Pia Sundhage said, "We played under pressure and that's a good feeling. They were a little stressed about that and that was a good feeling to deal with," Sundhage said. "At halftime we talked about knocking it around even a little bit more even though they were putting us under pressure. I think they tried at least and next game, they will do even better."
