The whole coaching staff should be under review. And probably fired.
I think stating it's a bombshell is a tad over-theatrical! It's disappointing, incorrect, shocking, embarrassing, and wrong, sure. A dark cloud over the women's football team. Yup, that's a fair point. A small one that it is. The Canadian squad should be sanctioned somehow; I'll give you that one, too! The biggest story going into the games is more like a slow news day for everybody else, save good folks actually involved in women's football. Again, that's a bit lame, I would suggest.
The two people who perpetrated this egregious act have been sent home. My first thought was, who's paying for their flight home? The Canadian head coach recused herself for the first game. How gracious of her!
Mr. Heroux, Here's the thing, and I say this with the greatest respect: You're trying too hard, man! It's a story, sure. It's not the end of the Olympics as we know it, nor will the women's team disintegrate into dust over this.
The Olympics has always been littered with scandal after scandal. This isn't new or surprising. Let us play on!
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!
As q Canadian, forfeit this match!!! She is the coach, Cheater Cheater Cheater…Fire fire fire!!!!! Maybe Canada should fly our Flag on opening ceremonies with a drone!!!
If this is true, fifa needs to suspend team canada.. i cant believe it to this day, but eevery action has consequences. come back home, no one cares about your fake medals..
Spying what?? New Zealand don’t even care about football! And what’s to film?? The coach making the players go around in circles!! THERE ARE BIGGER THINGS HAPPENING IN FOOTBALL THAG NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS IS SO CHEESE….SHAME AT FIFA!
Cheater Cheater Cheater…Fire fire fire!!!!! Maybe Canada should fly thier Flag on opening ceremonies with a drone
They have to at least forfeit the game. One pissed off Canuck here , we look like criminals over there now . WTF were they thinking
I hear that they used submarines at the last Olympics & now they were exploring new ideas.
French are jumping on the Canadians because who are we to think we deserve to be in the world of soccer. We should just stick to hockey where we belong. The French media can be focusing on more important things.
Time to fire all coaching staff right after the Olympics and replace them all! The amazing athletes on this team deserve better and the Canadian federation needs to pay for better coaching.
Embarrassing, as an American, y’all should be ashamed
The Olympics are full of cheaters , it happens every four years . Turn the Olympics off and quit letting them have our tax dollars .
I feel bad for the athletes. This wasn’t their decision and now they’re under a public perception shadow.
Bring in Sinclair as an emergency coach!
They should hire the same guy who flew the drone in the last Olympics. It worked beautifully. 😂
this cwnt also fields a bio logic mail.
Bring the smelling salts, I feel faint. With Trudeau and Freeland in charge Canada has far more serious problems.
The entire team may as well go home right now, there is zero credibility left
The head coach should be fired after tournament
Whole team should be disqualified. All cheaters in my book now.
No other choice but for the head coach to step down, Canada is trying to distract with the offer to sit out one game, anything without the head coach removal will be further tainted
I feel bad for New Zealand 🇳🇿 if we had to win a game it has to be this one now if we lose it will be its only New Zealand
Canadians are always on their high horse when others are caught cheating but they cheat all the time….remember ben johnson? Time to get off your high horse.
Pathetic and shameful!
Lol
Canada focus on Grooming thats what you do best!!
Send the whole team home – the women and the all other pronouns.
Everyone thinks Canadians are so nice and polite. I lived there for 44 years and I know first hand that Canadians are as screwed up, ignorant, angry, mean, and crooked as anyone else. The world has changed. The ‘nice’ Canada is dead.
They should never coach a game for Canada again. They have embarrassed our country . I don’t care if the girls win 5-0 every game this Olympics it won’t mean anything on the world stage, this is a stain. No games have even been played yet
If they aren’t fired before the tournament starts then the committee chairman needs to be fired!!
Everyone on the staff MUST GO
I will cheer against Canadian team now, forever. Crooks.
Forfeit their points against NZ..what were they thinking…you cannot cheat against a minnow National like NZ
Defending Champs, now known as Cheats
Robberies, sexual assaults, and cheating?! This game is not going very well…
What the hell were they thinking?? They knew what they were doing was wrong and someone was bound to notice a drone. How embarrassing for us.
This is an absolute disgrace. Forfeit the game against NZ.
This is hilarious.
Highly embarrassing. Question is, are the two people who were sent packing directly responsible for the embarrassment, or are they sacrificial lambs?
"What's the issue?" – Bill Belichick
Well that's embarrasing. makes you wonder how many times they have done this in the past?
Coach should go home to his wife
Games haven't started and Canada has already embarrassed itself.
Doing exactly what the current government does and behaves.
Completely UNCANADIAN!
These lesbians have lost their mind. Is Priestman really a woman?
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.
Morons.
Priestman should be gone as well…there is no way she didn't know. What would two assistant coaches do on their own with whatever Intel they gathered? When she was asked point blank if she knew about it, she refused to answer, instead offering up a large order of word salad to deflect. She and the COC have embarrassed themselves, the entire Olympic team, and Canadians in general. I feel sorry for all the other Olympic team members…their experience has been sullied.
