Marta scored her 15th career Women's World Cup goal to become the all-team leader in tournament history, leading Brazil to a 2-0 win over South Korea in Montreal on Tuesday.
The five-time world player of the year scored on a penalty kick in the 53rd minute to put Brazil up 2-0, giving her 15 career World Cup goals and surpassing the 14 goals scored by Germany's Brigit Prinz.
Marta's penalty came after Formiga was fouled by South Korea's So-hyun Cho inside the box, and she sent the penalty into the lower left corner of the goal for the record score.
Formiga had Brazil's first goal, and the 37-year-old became the oldest player to score in tournament history — doing so in her sixth World Cup. Brazil plays its second group-stage game against Spain on Saturday, while South Korea faces Costa Rica.

France sinks England on Le Sommer goal

Eugenie Le Sommer scored in the 29th minute to help France to a 1-0 victory over England.
Sarah Bouhaddi had a clean sheet in the tournament opener for both teams at Moncton Stadium.
England struggled to create chances in wet and windy conditions while Les Bleues, who finished fourth at both the 2011 World Cup and 2012 London Olympics, posed a continual threat with Le Sommer leading the way.
England's best scoring opportunity came late in the first half when France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi misjudged a cross by Alex Scott but midfielder Chapman's attempted lob sailed wide.
France, ranked third in the world, will next play Columbia while sixth-ranked England take on Mexico in Moncton on Saturday.
An expanded field of 24 teams is playing in the month-long World Cup.

Colombia recovers to draw with Mexico

Daniela Montoya's booming goal from outside the penalty area in the 82nd minute helped Colombia recover for a 1-1 draw against Mexico in Moncton, N.B.
The late draw keeps both countries in search of their first victories in the tournament.
Veronica Perez put Mexico up 1-0 in the 35th minute, turning after a corner kick and firing a right-footed shot that Colombian goalkeeper Castano Cardoso Derly Stefany was unable to keep from just crossing the line.
Yoreli Rincon nearly equalized for Colombia in the 59th minute, but her free kick over the outstretched Mexican goalkeeper Cecelia Santiago hit the post. However, Montoya tied the game in the final 10 minutes. Mexico next plays against England on Saturday, while Colombia faces France.

Spain, Costa Rica draw in debuts  

Raquel Rodriguez Cedeno's first-half goal gave Costa Rica a 1-1 draw against Spain in Montreal in the Women's World Cup debut for both countries.
Rodriguez scored in the 14th minute off a pass from Katherine Alvarado, one minute after Vicky Losada put Spain ahead.
Spain controlled the possession for much of the second half, with Jennifer Hermoso and Sonia Bermudez narrowly missing chances soon after halftime.
Losada had another late opportunity, but Costa Rica goalkeeper Dinnia Diaz saved a shot headed to the top left part of the goal. Costa Rica finished second in last year's CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup, losing to the U.S. 6-0 in the final. It plays South Korea on Saturday, when Spain meets South American champion Brazil.

FIFA's internal struggle over Russia, Qatar World Cups; Corruption investigation sparks calls to withdraw rights for 2018, 2022 tournaments



Investigations into corruption at FIFA, soccer's governing body, have prompted some observers to call for the withdrawal of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups from Russia and Qatar, respectively.

In light of the arrest of several high-ranking executives amid allegations of widespread corruption, many observers say FIFA should reconsider the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar.

But withdrawing the lucrative rights to those tournaments would be a legal quagmire, say sports governance experts, and it could also call FIFA's very existence into question.

FIFA is "in completely uncharted territory," says Roger Pielke, a professor at the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

He says he sees nothing in the FIFA statutes or the guidelines for running the World Cup competition that "seems to deal with any of these contingencies."

Last month, U.S. and Swiss authorities launched two separate investigations into corruption at soccer's governing body, including the bid processes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Several officials have been implicated, and the organization's president, Sepp Blatter, resigned mere days after winning a fifth straight term.

Investigators are taking a closer look at what led FIFA's member states to vote in favour of giving the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar.

Domenico Scala, the independent chairman of FIFA's audit and compliance committee, has suggested in recent days that if the investigation turns up evidence of bribery, one or both countries could lose the tournament.

Other FIFA officials have thrown cold water on that suggestion, which is telling, says Pielke.

"It's clear that there's an internal struggle at FIFA right now," he says.

Legal quagmire


Given the prestige involved in winning the bids and the money each country has invested in infrastructure to host the tournament (Qatar will reportedly spend $200 billion US in total), losing the rights would be a tremendous disappointment and undoubtedly lead to recriminations.

Withdrawing the 2018 and 2022 World Cups would be legally tricky, says Jean-Loup Chappelet, a professor of public administration at the Université de Lausanne in Switzerland with an expertise in sports governance.

Whatever the truth about the World Cup bid process, Russia and Qatar won their respective bids, and the soccer organizing committees in each country would have signed a legally binding document with FIFA agreeing on terms for hosting the event, says Chappelet.

Unlike the contracts signed by host cities for the Olympics, Chappelet says World Cup contracts are not made public, so it's impossible to know the terms.

Even so, he says it's quite likely that one of the stipulations was that in the case of a breach of contract, FIFA and the country involved would argue their respective cases in front of the Court for the Arbitration of Sport (CAS) in Lausanne.

CAS works under Swiss law, but regularly adjudicates commercial disputes between sports organizations from different countries.

FIFA's future?


Even before the current investigations, a number of sports journalists and other advocates have questioned the suitability of Russia and Qatar as World Cup hosts.

They pointed to the fact that both countries have poor human rights records. Russia has been criticized for anti-gay legislation enacted prior to the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, and international observers have also raised concern about racist hooliganism at domestic soccer matches.  

With Qatar, arguably the biggest concerns are reports that hundreds of foreign workers from India and Nepal have died in the construction of new stadiums and infrastructure.

As well, there have been misgivings about holding soccer's premier event in a Gulf state where the average summer temperature can reach 41 degrees, which could be dangerous for players.

To avoid this potential hazard, Blatter announced earlier this year that the 2022 World Cup would defy convention and take place in the cooler months of November and December.

While the soccer world waits to find out whether FIFA will indeed withdraw the Russia and Qatar World Cups, there is already strong evidence that the awarding of previous tournaments involved corruption.

For example, a recently uncovered 2007 email sent by FIFA Secretary-General Jerome Valcke suggests that Blatter knew about a $10-million payment from South Africa's soccer federation to a FIFA official.

Many observers consider it to be thanks for giving the African nation rights to the 2010 tournament.

The FBI has also announced that it is widening its investigation of FIFA to the organization of the 2014 tournament in Brazil.

Chappelet says the long list of allegations ultimately raises doubts about FIFA's ability to carry out its single most important role, which is to study, vet and choose the appropriate venue for soccer's biggest event.

"If this awarding capacity is threatened, or put in question, the whole thing will crumble, because [FIFA's] main duty is to make sure every four years that there is a World Cup," says Chappelet.

Brazil forward Marta became the all-time World Cup leader in goals after she converted a penalty kick in a 2-0 win over South Korea on Tuesday.
Marta established the new tournament record in the 53rd minute to double the lead.

Germany's Brigit Prinz, now retired, was the previous record holder with 14.
Marta, 29, is appearing in her fourth World Cup, having also competed in 2003, 2007, and 2011. Including Tuesday's game in Montreal, she has played 15 World Cup matches.
Current Team USA forward Abby Wambach isn't far behind with 13 goals.

Evan Solomon fired by CBC News in wake of alleged secret art deals



Evan Solomon


'I did not view the art business as a conflict with my political journalism at the CBC,' Solomon says

CBC fires Evan Solomon 3:50
CBC News has "ended its relationship" with Power & Politics host Evan Solomon, CBC editor in chief Jennifer McGuire said in a note to staff.
The note came after the Toronto Star published a report claiming that Solomon had brokered art deals involving people whom he also dealt with as a journalist.
Solomon, who came to CBC as a host in 1994, also hosted the radio show The House, which looks at political issues of the week.
"We will be making announcements about the interim hosting of these programs in the next few days," the note said.
Carmel Smyth, national president of the Canadian Media Guild, could not offer specifics, but said, "We are working with Mr. Solomon as he considers his options." Smyth said CBC's collective agreement provides people the "right to work outside of the CBC and to be paid for it, and many people do."

'Deeply sorry,' Solomon says

Solomon, in a statement late Tuesday, said he formed a private business partnership in 2013 to broker Canadian art and that he disclosed the business to CBC earlier this year.

"I did not view the art business as a conflict with my political journalism at the CBC and never intentionally used my position at the CBC to promote the business.
"I am deeply sorry for the damage that my activities have done to the trust that the CBC and its viewers and listeners have put in me. I have the utmost respect for the CBC and what it stands for."
The report from journalist Kevin Donovan alleges that Solomon brokered the sale of paintings belonging to art collector Bruce Bailey to BlackBerry founder Jim Balsillie and former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney.
Solomon, in his statement, said the art business involved only two clients.
The Star refers to email exchanges reportedly between Solomon and Bailey about art sales and alleges that Solomon received secret commissions on the sales.
CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson told reporter Ioanna Roumeliotis that based on information that came to the broadcaster's attention on Monday, CBC determined that some of Solomon's activities were inconsistent with the organization's conflict of interest and ethics policy, as well as journalistic standards and practices.
The decision to end Solomon's employment was based on the findings of an internal review conducted over the last two days, he said.
Thompson said that Solomon had told senior management in April that he and his wife had become involved in a business partnership with Bailey, and that Solomon said at the time that he wasn't active in the partnership. Thompson said CBC management at that time told Solomon the partnership could not interfere with his work as a journalist or cross any ethical or conflict of interest lines.
The CBC code of conduct says employees "must not use their positions to further their personal interests" and CBC News recently tightened rules around paid speaking engagements by on-air employees after questions about paid engagements by CBC journalists.
A spokesperson for the Bank of England issued a statement early Wednesday on behalf of Carney saying the governor "has no enduring professional relationship with" Solomon and that he "never comments on matters relating to his personal life."

Malaysia detains 2 Canadians among 4 Westerners for alleged naked pose on mountain: Lindsey Petersen and his sister Danielle Petersen of Saskatchewan

Malaysian police said Wednesday that they have detained four Westerners, including two Canadians, suspected of posing naked at the country's highest peak last month, just days before an earthquake killed 18 climbers on the mountain.
Police obtained a court order to detain them for four days while they're investigated for indecent behaviour, said Sabah state police chief Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman.
Two Canadian siblings, identified earlier as Lindsey Petersen and his sister Danielle Petersen of Saskatchewan, and a Dutch male surrendered themselves at a police station in Sabah on Tuesday evening, he said. A British woman was detained at a Sabah airport earlier Tuesday while trying to fly to Kuala Lumpur.
They were believed to be part of a group of 10 people who stripped naked before taking photos at Mount Kinabalu on May 30.
A magnitude-5.9 earthquake Friday sent rocks and boulders raining down the trekking routes on the 4,095-meter-high mountain in Sabah on Borneo island, killing 18 climbers.
The victims were nine Singaporeans, six Malaysians and a Filipino, a Chinese and a Japanese national.
The quake damaged roads and buildings, including schools and a hospital on Sabah's west coast. It also broke one of the twin rock formations on the mountain known as the "Donkey's Ears."
Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan has blamed the tragedy on the foreigners for showing "disrespect to the sacred mountain" by posing naked at the peak. He has said a special ritual will be conducted to "appease the mountain spirit."
The Department of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday that it was assisting two Canadians barred from leaving Malaysia.

CANADA 2015: Soccer clubs from coast to coast get set to participate in FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ Youth Programme



FWWC_Onsale_Web_Ad_728x90_v3



-          Close to 1000 Canadian youth will have a chance of a lifetime to participate in the world’s biggest sporting event for women
Wednesday May 27, 2015 More than 50 soccer clubs across Canada have been selected to participate in the FIFA Youth Programme at this summer’s highly anticipated FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™.  The Youth Programme highlights the importance FIFA places on enabling children to connect with the sport from an early age by inviting them to participate in the competition as a member of the Player Escort Team, Ball Crew or as a Flag Bearer.
“We are thrilled to give youth across Canada the chance to be a part of the largest women’s sporting event in the world, and engaging them with these female soccer players,” says National Organising Committee CEO Peter Montopoli. “The youth soccer players will play an essential role in the success of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015, while having a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience a world-class event they will never forget,” adds Montopoli.
The programme has rewarded clubs for their support of the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ in all six official Host Cities in Vancouver, British Columbia; Edmonton, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Ottawa, Ontario; Montréal, Québec; and Moncton, New Brunswick and has been offered to soccer players aged six to 17 years old.
“The FIFA Youth Programme has become an important component of every one of our tournaments and with the support from FIFA’s Commercial Affiliates, in particular adidas and Coca-Cola, over one thousand youth in Canada will have the chance to experience the thrill behind the scenes at the FIFA Women’s World Cup this summer,” says FIFA Marketing Director Thierry Weil. “The FIFA Youth Programme has been running since the 1998 FIFA World Cup and underscores the importance FIFA places on enabling children to connect with football, from an early age and regardless of gender.”
The Youth Programme offers youth the opportunity to hold a special role during the competition itself including Player Escorts (ages 6-10); Flag Bearers (ages 12-17) and; Ball Crew (ages 15-17). The Player Escorts have the opportunity to walk hand-in-hand with the players on to the pitch, and stand alongside them during their national anthems. Ball Crew members are responsible for ensuring one ball is kept in play for as long as possible during the course of the match, which is a critical role for maintaining the flow of the game.  Thanks to FIFA Partners adidas and Coca-Cola, children selected to be a FIFA Fair Play Flag Bearer or a National Team Flag Bearer walk the players onto the field alongside the FIFA Flag Bearers, moments before the starting whistle blows.

Des clubs de football de tout le pays vont participer au Programme Jeunes de la Coupe du Monde Féminine de la FIFA, Canada 2015™
-          Près de 1 000 jeunes Canadiens auront l’occasion unique de vivre de l’intérieur le plus grand événement sportif féminin au monde
Mercredi 27 mai 2015 – Plus de 50 clubs de football canadiens ont été choisis pour participer cet été au Programme Jeunes de la FIFA à l’occasion de la très attendue Coupe du Monde Féminine de la FIFA, Canada 2015™. La FIFA souhaite, à travers cette initiative, permettre aux enfants de s’impliquer dans la discipline dès le plus jeune âge, en les invitant à tenir plusieurs rôles lors de la compétition : accompagnateur des joueuses sur le terrain, ramasseur de balle ou porte-drapeau.
"Nous sommes très heureux de donner aux jeunes à travers tout le Canada l’opportunité de vivre de l’intérieur le plus grand événement sportif féminin au monde et de pouvoir côtoyer les joueuses au plus près", témoigne le responsable du Comité National d’Organisation, Peter Montopoli. "Ces jeunes joueurs contribueront au succès de la Coupe du Monde Féminine et vivront une expérience unique qu’ils n’oublieront jamais."
Destiné aux jeunes de 6 à 17 ans, le programme a récompensé les clubs qui se sont engagés pour la Coupe du Monde Féminine dans les six villes-hôtes officielles de la compétition : Vancouver (Colombie britannique), Edmonton (Alberta), Winnipeg (Manitoba), Ottawa (Ontario), Montréal (Québec) et Moncton (Nouveau-Brunswick).
"Le Programme Jeunes de la FIFA est devenu une pierre angulaire de chacun de nos tournois", explique le Directeur du Marketing de la FIFA, Thierry Weil. "Grâce au soutien des partenaires de la FIFA, notamment adidas et Coca-Cola, près de 1 000 jeunes Canadiens auront la chance de découvrir les coulisses de la Coupe du Monde Féminine cet été. Le Programme Jeunes existe depuis la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA, France 1998™ et montre à quel point la FIFA tient à ce que les enfants s’impliquent dans la discipline dès le plus jeune âge, quel que soit leur sexe."
Le programme donne aux jeunes la possibilité de tenir plusieurs rôles au cours du tournoi : accompagnateur des joueuses sur le terrain (de 6 à 10 ans), porte-drapeau (de 12 à 17 ans) ou ramasseur de balle (de 15 à 17 ans). Ceux qui auront la chance de faire office d’accompagnateurs pourront marcher main dans la main avec les joueuses lors de leur entrée sur la pelouse et rester à leurs côtés pendant les hymnes nationaux. Les ramasseurs de balle auront quant à eux pour mission de mettre le plus rapidement possible le ballon à disposition, un rôle essentiel pour la fluidité du jeu. Grâce aux partenaires de la FIFA, adidas et Coca-Cola, les enfants choisis pour porter les drapeaux du FIFA Fair-Play ou des équipes nationales rentreront sur le terrain en même temps que les joueuses, à quelques minutes du coup d’envoi.
Pour plus d’informations sur le Programme Jeunes, veuillez consulter les sites Internet des différentes villes-hôtes en vous rendant sur fwwc2015.ca.
