Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 4019246, member: 649"] They've never tossed out a team from the Olympics or World Cup for this - and it has happened many many times. Very doubtful there was any kind of agreement, but both coaches opted to play defensively and not press the other team's defense - which led to a stalemate. Understandable (although boring for the spectators) with both teams definitely into the knockout stage and with the heat index pushing 100 degrees. Earlier, however, both teams had a number of good scoring chances - so they certainly weren't trying for a tie at that point. [/QUOTE]
