Anyone else see where Canada's Olympic Women's Soccer team was severely sanctioned for illegal scouting?

They were caught filming an opponent's practice with a drone and were docked 6 points by FIFA in Group A qualifying making it almost impossible for them to qualify to knockout round. Canada is the defending Olympic Gold Medal Champions. Let's compare this to what the NCAA did to scUM for identical, and far more pervasive, cheating. Embarrassing.

I boycotted the olympics, so didn't see this. But glad they got punished.

It's not impossible. If they win all 3 games they'd get 3 points and likely advance as one of the 3rd place teams but they did make it tough on them.

The difference is the IOC actually gas power. Whereas we killed the NCAA.

Good to see you back bushwood.
 
Canada advanced to the quarters so much for almost impossible or impossible for that to happen...
