Incorrect.
The laws of the game state that the keeper’s infraction will generate a restart with an indirect kick.
Considering this referee, however, she probably could have made something up on the spot, especially since Abby Wambach had been needling her by counting “1..2..3..4..” every time the Canadian keeper picked up the ball. Wambach admitted that her team needed some kind of edge, and as such was unapologetic about the way she baited the referee into a ridiculous call.

Complaining about this call is ridiculous. When the goon Tancredi stomped on the American’s head, she should have been red carded and Canada down a person the rest of the way.

Waaahhh...incessant crying. If anybody gets hosed it is the US...in nearly ever sport...due to the envy and hate.

Tancredi out...play down a person or shut up Canada.

0-24-4 vs the US btw....it’s a shame the Canadian woman have tainted what should be going down as one of the great Classic WC or Olympic soccer matches.
