That is so stupid my lord 😮 wtf
Oh my gosh what are you possibly going to learn by watching another soccer team practice oh that's right the New Zealand soccer women's team has so many secret moves
Most countries cheat, use drugs, especially the American teams, but yet the Canadians are so stupid to have gotten caught
As a Canadian who isn't a huge fan of soccer but is a big fan of the Olympics I'd just like to say to any fans of competing countries who may read this that I'm deeply ashamed of my country for this scandal and I offer my most sincere apologies. This IS. NOT. what our country stands for.
They possibly used this when they won the gold. That team should forfeit their gold medals because they don't deserve them.
Nobody reporting about transvestites recreating the last supper at the opening ceremony is disgusting.
Can you imagine being as good as a 15-year-old boys' team and then thinking that you even have the ability to put your illicit footage to any use. 😂
Every nations have idiots. I believe Canada has a bit less than most nations.
Omg so embarrassing Canada what the hell
I do care if there are women in practice stadiums were dressed naked, spying is a serious offense. And its unacceptable Canada soccer team should be banned from the Olympics. Drone spying should never happen again. It makes me ashamed of being a Canadian these days.
When the Russians cheat, they get disqualified.
why the offenders aren't showed on screen with pictures and names??
Dirty Canada
What really happened here was a rogue staff member went off the reservation and spied on the opponent with a drone. His immediate supervisor tasked him with researching the NZ team, just like they'd for any opponent. But she had no idea that this guy would resort to something like this. The players, coach and the rest of the staff had nothing to do with this incident, yet it will now taint any success they achieve going forward. How sad.
Obviously an intelligence test is not required by the Canadian Soccer Association. What a pathetic example of CSA incompetence
As a Canadian, I have the following take:
Someone in the Canadian Olympic Women's Soccer Team, decided that, in an area that's among the highest security on the planet at the moment, to use an unauthorized drone in restricted airspace, to spy on an opponent's soccer team.
Just think about this for a moment.
Against the rules? Probably, though this is the Olympics and it's been corrupt for decades.
Profoundly stupid? Absolutely.
It's very unfortunate. I must confess I didn't follow women's sports until I discovered the WNBA rookie phenom Caitlin Clark. I also had the privilege of listening to Hayley Wickenheiser speak at a conference in October of last year. Both of these women have opened my eyes to the exciting world of women's competition in sports. I can also confess that I have come to learn of many women sports figures who are obviously great at their chosen sports but are amazing role models for young girls and the rest of the humans who are paying attention!
What has occurred with the women's Olympic soccer team is not a good optic on many levels; however, it shouldn't tarnish the reputation of the games or other women's competitions. There will be plenty to say before it's all said and done! For now, let us play on!
What a shame! Now to be known as cheaters. A very sad day for all Canadians that agree with FAIR play. Just plain embarrassing. Not a proud Canadian moment.
The whole canadian team should be sent back home!
We don't like you now Canada.
The whole team may as well go home now. Any success they have from now on will be tainted
That's not a scandal, it's just a stupid move to fly drones at the Olympics. There's nothing that New Zealand is practicing that hasn't been seen at any game or practice leading up to the Olympics. Media drama out of nothing.
Not sure why this even matters, first it was not the team; not the team…and are there not advance scouts in soccer…there is in pro ball…, I repeat not the team…. explain the issue, why would it be so secretive????? ***Soccer opponents gather as much information as possible about the opposing team. This can include things like game footage, statistics, and scouting reports. Teams can also attend games in person or watch online to get a sense of the opposing team's style of play and key players. How they did it may be questionable it is not illegal.
Biggest scandal out of Canada in a decade.
Bill Belichick, if you ain't cheating you're not trying hard enough.
Setting aside my flag, there is absolutely no way these 2 individuals acted alone and just kept any information they gathered to themselves. C’mon. Despite the massive blow it would be for the players and those they inspire, the only fair resolution is for our team to be sent home.
Is Bill Belichick their consultant?
No matter what the result of Canadian soccer at the Olympics they will forever known as cheats
Cheats should be disqualified. Canada should be disqualified and sent home. Cheats all day.
Heh. Good ole candid shots
Now with all the drones in the air (apparently) how did they know it was from Canada. Did it have a flag (that would be a dead give away)?
Coach and all other staff that approved this scandal must be fired right away.
They destroyed Canada's dignity.
Cheaters lol
Canadians cheating? But they're all so friggin' nice, eh.
I wish all the teams were using drones to all spy on each other at the same time, and they all had a massive battle in the sky 😂 drones wars… 🤔 new olympic sport?
Oh, Canada……. We know, your sorry…… Gotta love ya… Especially for Ryan Reynolds….🤗
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. ThThe owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967779509554 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/%^%%%%%_%_%>%>%<%////____]÷'b,*%%^/^^/%:;;;;::::::""":::"""""""""<*<><+&^___//_///_//___//////___________/_/>_[/[_</_/>_>/؟/،_،_؛_؛/،/::_،_/؛:__،؛_:_:_،_،/:_:……………

It makes me wonder if they were also using transwomen on the team.
Over 1.4 billion people with football as a main sport, and China 🇨🇳 can't find 2 dozen great football players. Yet, they don't think anything's wrong with their "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" football.
Самая лучшая Олимпиада проводилась в Сочи
😂😂😂 the Olympics; what a waste of time & money!
