I wondered if there was a language barrier.  If a ref tells you "sorry, that's not the rule.  The rule says that's an illegal touch," then that should end the conversation.  Does the ref HAVE to explain, no, but it seemed like an easy thing to clear up.  It's not like the Canadian player tried to say he didn't play it on his fee first.  They just didn't know the rule.

Re the US play.  Totally understand not working on set plays at the 6, but it's not unheard of to have close-up indirect kicks.  I thought professionals would do better.  Especially since they had like 4 minutes to discuss while Canada argued.  I think it shows the lack of creativity that plagues the US.  I agree with the blast since it's hard to imagine it wouldn't hit someone.  I'm also fine with one of the two on the ball nudging it a rotation (or whatever is considered a proper touch).  Helps clear up some of the clog when the D runs to the ball, and makes it a goal if it just happens to go in without another touch.
