Canada coach Jesse Marsch under investigation by CONCACAF
June 19 - The Canadian Soccer Association and head coach Jesse Marsch are under investigation by CONCACAF over claims of rules violations and the use of offensive language during Canada's 6-0 Gold Cup win over Honduras on Tuesday.
Marsch wasn't even on the sidelines for the game since he was serving a two-game suspension for receiving a red card in Canada's third-place game of the Nations League finals against the United States in March.
"The Disciplinary Committee will review all available evidence, including official reports detailing that the CSA and its head coach disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward CONCACAF match officials," CONCACAF said it a statement Thursday.
Marsch claimed in March that Canada has long been treated with "disrespect" by CONCACAF match officials.
Marsch, 51, is a native of Wisconsin, who played more than 300 games in MLS with D.C. United, the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA. He was a head coach with the Montreal Impact and New York Red Bulls before heading to Europe, where he has coached at Red Bull Salzburg (Austria), RB Leipzig (Germany) and Leeds United (England).

US deports teen soccer star to Honduras days after his high school graduation
A teenage student and soccer stand-out was arrested by immigration authorities four days after his high school graduation ceremony in Ohio earlier this month, and deported to Honduras this week, his family has said. Emerson Colindres, 19, had no criminal record and was attending a regularly scheduled appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Cincinnati when he was detained on 4 June, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. His parents told the newspaper he was deported on Wednesday to a country he has not lived in since he was eight years old. 'He's never done anything to anybody, he hasn't committed any type of crime and he's always done things the right way,' his mother, Ada Bell Baquedano-Amador, told the outlet. 'How is my son going to make it over there? He doesn't know anything and the country where we come from is very insecure.' Teachers and teammates from his soccer team at Gilbert A Dater high school, where Colindres was a standout athlete, joined protests at the Butler county jail, where he was detained until he was moved to another Ice facility in Louisiana this week. Bryan Williams, coach at the Cincy Galaxy soccer club where Colindres also played, told NBC News: 'Sadly, he's not the only one. I think there are a lot of Emersons in the same situation right now. 'They're all the same story, someone who was here doing everything they were asked, trying to make a better life for themselves and their family.' High school and college students have increasingly found themselves in the crosshairs of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Administration officials insist that only criminals and those with adjudicated final orders of removal are being targeted. Recent data shows a surge in people with no criminal history being targeted. Being in the US without legal status is a civil offense, not a crime. However, a judge had issued a final removal order for Colindres and his family in 2023 after their application for asylum was denied, nine years after they entered the country without documentation. 'If you are in the country illegally and a judge has ordered you to be removed, that is precisely what will happen,' Tricia McLaughlin, homeland security department assistant secretary of public affairs, told NBC in a statement. Raids by Ice agents have escalated as administration officials have called for a minimum of 3,000 immigration arrests daily.

Chilling footage emerges after boy, 3, is killed in 'tragic accident' at horse racing event in Canada
A three-year-old boy was tragically killed after being struck by a starting gate during a horse racing event in Canada. According to reports, the boy - believed to be Gunnar Dickison - was hit by the gate as it was being towed by a pickup truck last Saturday. In chilling YouTube footage, the truck can be seen leading the horses round the track to start the race before the announcer shouts: 'There they go!' Around the same time, a crashing sound can be heard off-camera - prompting a couple of the jockeys to turn around - before screams ring out. 'What just happened?' the announcer asks. Audio then briefly cuts out. 'We need an ambulance, call an ambulance please, to the grandstand folks,' the announcer says. 'If there's a doctor on the grounds anywhere to the grandstand please, right away.' At this stage, police believe the incident is a 'tragic accident'. First responders headed to the Connell Park Raceway in Woodstock, New Brunswick, around 1:25pm local time. The three-year-old was rushed to a nearby hospital but medics were unable to save his life, according to CBC. 'It does appear, based on the initial information from some people that we've got, that it is a tragic accident,' Deputy Chief Simon Watts of the Woodstock Police Force said in a news conference, per CBC News. 'We know nowadays, everyone's got a cellphone camera, so if we can obviously get clarification on where the incident actually took place and the details of it, and there's a few questions with regard to closeness of the gate.' According to CBC, cops would not comment on whether anyone will face charges over the boy's death. Starting gates are used to ensure horses begin a race from the same point. Authorities in Woodstock have announced an investigation into the incident in a bid to avoid further tragedies. They also offered 'condolences to all those affected' by the 'unimaginable loss.' Watts revealed that the New Brunswick Coroner's Services and the Atlantic Provinces Harness Racing Commission would be conducting their own probes. 'As many of you know, there was a tragic accident last night at our racetrack. The Woodstock Driving Club is now accepting donations to help support the family with the unexpected expenses during this incredibly difficult time,' the track wrote on Facebook alongside a sketch of a boy with the message: 'Love you always Gunnar!' Meanwhile, Dr. Mitchell Downey - president of Horse Racing New Brunswick - said: 'The entire racing community is deeply saddened by the tragic events of June 14.
