🇨🇦 A woman coach in Canada was suspended due to a "spy drone" incident.

Bev Priestman, head coach of the Canadian women's team, will not be able to continue leading the squad during the Olympics while the inquiry into their "use of drones" is ongoing. On Thursday, Canada defeated New Zealand 2-1 to begin Group A action at the Paris Games, although the match was anything but ordinary. Prior to the game, New Zealand accused the opposition of using drones to spy on their pre-match training sessions.

This led to the dismissal of two employees: team analyst Joseph Lombardi and assistant coach Jasmine Mander. Priestman has since gone to the packing bag with those employees. The Canada Soccer team has reportedly been "relying on drones and spying" for years, according to a shocking turn of events that TSN reported.

This tactic is said to have been employed by Canada in the 2021 Olympic gold medal winning women's squad as well as in at least one practice prior to a July 2022 women's national team match against Panama. A "independent external review" of the incident will apparently be carried out by Canada Soccer, and FIFA has initiated "disciplinary proceedings" in response. Kevin Blue, general secretary and CEO of Canada Soccer, announced Bev Priestman's suspension in a statement that read, "We have learned of additional information regarding previous drone use against opponents, prior to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games."

"Canada Soccer has decided to suspend Head Coach of the Women's National Soccer Team, Bev Priestman, for the remainder of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and until the conclusion of our recently announced independent external review, in light of these new revelations."

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for
