So:
- He confirmed that it was for spying/tactical purposes
- He informed Jasmine who did not stop him from doing it
- those two, plus CSA and BP, are being investigated by FIFA

Did Sinclair have her best game? No. Should she have taken the PK? No. But the disrespect I'm seeing is astounding. She played well until you saw her realize that it was again on her to carry this team. And she couldn't do that for the first time ever. Today is not her fault.

Two things can be true at the same time (which no one ever seems to understand here):
1) I do not want players to be disqualified, forfeit, or lose points bc of staff cheating.
2) I also think New Zealand is right and fair in asking for compensation that actually benefits them.

Kevin Blue is talking to media right now.

He has been in constant contact with players and states they are true professionals.

I think -6 is bloody excessive, but I would imagine that FIFA is setting a BIG example of us right now. And I think that they would argue that since it’s not a direct DQ, the players can still play and have an Olympics experience with a hope (ha) of making it through.

Genuine question: when do we expect more from Huitema? Apart from scoring v CONCACAF, what has she done? She scored v FRA in APR, but as a striker who has been around for at least 6 years, I expect more than 1 goal against a top-10 team. & I expect more than 0 SOG in a WC match.

San Diego was unnecessarily hasty here and lost a good one.

It was actually very brilliant for Bev to have Sinc hand the armband off to Sophie: there are no expectations on someone coming in for the GOAT, and there aren't any rumours about the next captain, either. Very strategic.

- Fleming and J. Rose were bright
- we didn’t give up and die and I think three years ago we would have

- I still got stats to work with

Someone tell the CONCACAF announcer that Christine Sinclair isn’t just “the best Canadian goal scorer and one of the best to play in the NWSL”.
She’s the world’s best goal-scorer.

I hope this finally shows what many of us have known for a while—some players were not treated well, at all. And if this is what they’re saying publicly, it surely goes much, much deeper.

My opinion: if BP didn’t know, all she had to do was say that. She was given the opportunity. Since she didn’t deny knowledge, I personally think she knew. I hope I am wrong but the FIFA investigation will likely (hopefully) tell us more.

Sinclair has an innate ability to know when her team needs her to score. She was in tears after their last match. She’s taking this no wins thing personally.
Christine Sinclair delivers when Portland needs her once again. More defensive problems for the Dash.

To be clear: Blue said that Marsch was certainly aware after the fact, and then denounced it immediately and swiftly.
Blue confirms that Jesse Marsch was aware of drone usage at Copa, at least after the fact, of the attempt for the Canadian men's national team at that tournament.

There are about 5 or 6 chances that absolutely should have been in the back of the net. It’s so frustrating.
(And before anyone comes at me, yes, of course I’m proud of them, but they really should have won that.)
23 shots from Canada. They can be proud of their effort, but those missed chances came back to haunt them.

I have a slight hope that FIFA made it -6 automatically knowing CSA would likely appeal. -3 would be extremely fair.
From my understanding:
Because FIFA moved the Canada Soccer case immediately from the Disciplinary Committee directly to the FIFA Appeal Committee, Canada can appeal this at the CAS much faster.
It would allow for an appeal to have an impact on the Olympic tournament.

I think Christine Sinclair is going to lose her gold medal. I am disgusted by this federation and the staff. There’s no way BP and the others didn’t know. We’ll now be competitive pariahs and every single result will be questioned. Where does the program even go from here?
Coaching staff and contractors working with Canada’s men’s and women’s national soccer teams have been engaged for years in efforts to film the closed-door training sessions of their opponents, including during the women’s gold-medal winning Olympic tournament in 2021, two

1) I am thrilled for Gabby & Desi.
2) I am gutted for Sydney—another injury is horrible.
3) I still don't understand the initial decision because Sydney didn't have to rush her R2P when Gabby was fit & roaring to go. That's an unnecessary emotional (& physical) roller coaster.

Gabby is frustrated because she never imagined that her Olympics would go like this, no one does. She stated how frustrating it is to know that the coaches didn't think they could win with integrity. It was unexpected and it gave them a fire that let them write this story.
