Watching Briana melt in the Brazil game you knew this was coming. When you set a goal of winning the World Cup and you don't, no 45-1-9 record will save you, I guess. Personally, I don't see how you fire a guy for one incredible blunder when he has that kind of record, if the firing is based on outcome alone. (I don't know what kind of internal struggles/personality conflicts might be going on, though.) But If I won as many games as he did and lost as few (ONE LOSS, I REPEAT, ONE LOSS), I'd be pretty happy. OK, technically, they lost two on his watch. They lost a penalty shootout to Germany, but for some reason that counts as a draw.
Soccer America has a different take, and makes an interesting case - that it wasn't the record, or even the Brazil loss, but the style (or lack thereof) of play. Check that out:
