Christine Sinclair will not be suspended for bronze medal game - thestar.com

Christine Sinclair will not be suspended for bronze medal game - thestar.com:

"This is, of course, a Nunavut-level snow job. What further ‘elements’ could FIFA need? Sinclair’s comment — that Pedersen “decided the game before it started” — was included in the post-game quote sheets released by the Canadian Soccer Association.

However, it is also a tacit admission that Pedersen blew the game when she called an exceedingly rare six-second violation on Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod. That call led directly to the tying goal, and then to the U.S. victory in added extra time.

Pedersen will not officiate either of the final two matches. Her Olympics is over. One suspects that her international career is likely done as well."

Go, Canada! I want them to win Bronze more than I want USA to win Gold.
