PARIS _ How good has the United States women's national team been?
Jill Ellis, who will coach her 125th game with the U.S. on Friday, has lost just seven times in the previous 124. And she's fourth in terms of winning percentage in national team history.
Perhaps more impressive, Ellis is unbeaten in 11 Women's World Cup games and could become the first coach since Italy's Vittorio Pozzo in 1938 to win multiple titles.
Yet Ellis, who will break a tie Friday with April Heinrichs for most games coached for the U.S. and could join Tony DiCicco as the only coach with 100 victories, claims ignorance when it comes to the numbers.
"I don't pay attention to that," she said Thursday. "It's one game at a time, literally. That's kind of the way I've coached my career. I couldn't tell you one stat.
"Obviously, we want to keep winning but in terms of numbers, I really don't pay attention to that."
