Canadian Coach: ... Upset With Ref Following Loss to Americans

After criticizing Team USA prior to Monday's match, Canadian coach John Herdman was at it again afterwards. The coach was upset with referee Christiana Pedersen for a penalty awarded to the U.S. that led to the Americans' third goal.

"The ref will have to sleep in bed tonight after watching the replays," Herdman said. "She's got that to live with that. We'll move on from this, I wonder if she'll be able to. You feel that it was taken from you. If the United States were honest, they'd know they got lucky tonight, in many ways, and that's what hurts the most."
