LONDON, ENGLAND: When the Canadian’s lost to the women’s American soccer team, they called foul, cheating, and a whole bunch of other words we won’t dare use here in the Daily News.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the Canadian team believes they lost to the referee who clearly (see picture above) wasn’t too happy with that specific game she was overseeing.

The first mishap? The ref made the call that Canadian kicker Erin McLeod had held the ball two seconds to long whilst the limit for holding the ball is only about 6.

Boy what a bitchy unfair referee. Is there anywhere that we can protest against her ethics. Can we do anything about the whole game handling? I’m proud of the way our team played! They won as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, I believe there is. Not real big on sports, but theres always some sort of confederation for things like that that take complaints. I think Canada did great, huge fan of the teams from there.
