    FIFA to investigate soccer match


    LONDON -- As the smoke lingers, an investigation has begun.

    Soccer's governing body has announced it is looking into events that unfolded following Canada's devastating loss to the United States at the London Olympics. Canada lost 4-3 in its semifinal game on Monday, following a series of bizarre calls by the referee.
    FIFA to investigate soccer match

    "Following the Olympic women's semi-final match between Canada and the USA played at Old Trafford on the evening of 6 August, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee is currently analysing incidents that occurred after the conclusion of the match," soccer's world governing body said in an email release distributed on Tuesday.

    It was not made immediately clear to which "incidents" FIFA was referring, though a number of Canadian players were critical of Norwegian referee Christiana Pedersen.

    "Further information will be provided only after the Committee are in possession of all the elements of the case," FIFA said in the release.

    From what I've read about it, it sounds like FIFA is considering disciplinary actions towards Canada's coach and players for after game comments, and not the calls in the game.

    The 1 good thing to come out of the soccer match was that at least it was won before a team sport was decided by penalty kicks or whatever it's called.

    Good luck to the US and Japan in the gold medal game, and hopefully we will win the bronze which I think is a good result for us in soccer.

    yes while winning bronze would be a good result, it still won't make a big impact in Canada. Winning gold woulda make a huge impact, but I'm sure you know that.

    I don't know everything(rules) about soccer, but looking at scores from here at the Olympics(&World Cup), shouldn't you win when you score 3 goals?
