London 2012: Canadian women robbed in soccer semi: Kelly - thestar.com

London 2012: Canadian women robbed in soccer semi: Kelly - thestar.com:

"LONDON—Melissa Tancredi wanted to get on the bus. She couldn’t trust herself to talk.

But after being robbed of a chance for a gold medal — in what was the equivalent of pilfering the chalices from one of the sport’s cathedrals — she couldn’t walk away.

She returned, face twitching, eyes red-rimmed and wet.

“I couldn’t believe what happened,” Tancredi said, jaw working side to side. “That was our game. That was our win. And it was just taken away. So …”"

Glad others agree with me. And in Edmonton Sun poll, Did Canada get robbed? 78% Yes.

For me, this really tarnishes the excitement for the final, a rematch with Japan, knowing USA actually should not be there.

Boy, did Canada get royally screwed.
