Flying a drone over a NZ practice did not give them an advantage over France, but they chose to take those points away as well. 3 points would have been a fair judgement, but fair didn't enter into the equation. FIFA thought they were sending the Canadians home, without actually sending them home.....so yes, fuck them.... 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize you're arguing the extent to which CWNST cheated, and not whether or not it happened. It's a miracle FIFA didn't ban them for the entirety of this iteration of the Olympics. It's a disgrace to the Olympics. I'm Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 How much can they "learn" from flying a drone? I mean, it's not like football is it? With formations and what not. I don't really watch soccer much so could be wrong. But it seemed like they were treated much harsher than some other countries might have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA was lenient letting them have a chance at qualifying for the round of 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were victims just like the fans. They bore the brunt of the displinary action by having to run the table to make it past the preliminary round. But I’m not blaming FIFA per se unlike some here. They had to do something. Unfortunately it was a bit heavy handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
