They started this tournament having to defend their character in interviews. They’re on to the quarterfinals after proving it on the pitch. So proud of this team and their resilience.

This is a bit dramatic. The harsh punishment of 6 points is enough. The players are paying for the terrible lack of judgement/integrity of a few staff members but this situation does not reflect the team and what it stands for.
If any young player decided to pass on playing international soccer for Canada going forward I would completely understand. If any Canadian company passed on sponsoring Canada soccer I would understand.
More damage has been done here than people realize.
I don’t think Gille’s impact on this team’s ability to overcome the obstacles they’ve faced in Paris can be overstated. Both ON and OFF the pitch. Leaders gonna lead.

and has fined the team 200,000 CHF.
Additionally, coaches Bev Priestman, Joseph Lombardi & Jasmine Mander have been suspended for an entire year.

incredible player, teammate, human. Thank you for all that you’ve done and all that you are. Forever grateful to be your teammate. You made all of us better players & people just being in your presence. The BEST to ever do it. ❤️
Heartbroken for this canadian team that left EVERYTHING on the pitch after facing so much adversity. After neither team could find the back of the net in the run of play, it’s goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger who wins it in PKs for Germany.

They’re making an example out of the wrong people. FIFA just wants the story to die and it’s at the expensive of the players. Did everything in their power short of sending them home. I hope they fight it.
Beckie’s PK was quality and in no way is she to blame for the loss. The fact that a PK was Canada’s best opportunity on goal is why they’re going home. But this team has multiple world class players and youth on their side.
I was surprised Sincy didn’t take the PK too. But having been in v similar situations standing next to her in front of free kicks - if she wants it, she takes it. If she thinks you have a better chance of finishing, it’s yours. It’s all about who’s most confident in that moment.
Canada digging their heels in and weathering the storm. Lots of game left though. Hopefully Viens and Leon can provide some much needed energy.
