FIFA is contemplating disciplinary action against Sinclair & Tancredi for comments they made questioning the role of the American referee in the result of the soccer game yesterday. Tancredi said the referee should proudly wear her American jersey for that's who she 'played' for yesterday. Sinclair was more diplomatic but questioned the attribution of a 6-second penalty with no warning. Hope our two best players are not disqualified from playing in the bronze game...
Get your facts straight.
The referee, as reported by every news outlet, is
Norwegian (Christiana Pedersen).

BTW, these Canadian women should act with
class and grace, especially considering the amount of potential fouls the Canadians imposed that weren't called during the game.
In soccer, several games ALWAYS have shit that goes down that ain't called.
In soccer ------> It is what it is.
And if you've seen interviews among world soccer pros on this theme/topic, they say that's the "
beauty" of it all...the
imperfections that cause discussion and love and interest for the game. And they
wouldn't change it....warts and all.
Those Canadian ladies, as elite athletes, should know better and STFU and stop the sour grapes routine. USA ladies team have had shit happen to them in the past, but they've always acted with public grace and moved on.
