Canada faces FIFA action over comments

LONDON — FIFA is considering disciplinary action over blistering comments by Canada’s coach and players about the referee after their semifinals loss to the US in the Olympic women’s football tournament. FIFA said its disciplinary panel is “analyzing incidents that occurred after” Canada’s 4-3 defeat after extra time Monday. Canada forward Christine Sinclair, who scored all three goals, later said “the ref decided the result before the game started.” Canadian was upset by an indirect free kick awarded against goalkeeper Erin McLeod for holding the ball too long late in normal time. — AP
