However, Team Canada was hit with a scandal just as the Olympics began. Two assistant coaches were caught spying on a New Zealand training session prior to their matchup on Wednesday. Following this, head coach Bev Priestman was banned for a year and sent home, and, to add to the misfortune, FIFA penalized Canada with a six-point deduction during the group stage. Despite winning their first two matches, Canada now has no points due to this penalty as they enter the final Group A match against Colombia on July 31.NorthStar Bets Ontario Sportsbook Canada has been successful in the last three Olympic Games, securing gold in Tokyo, bronze in Rio, and also earning bronze at the 2012 London Olympics.
