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).

BREAKING NEWS Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White sparks fears with absence... days after Caitlin Clark bust-ups
Indiana Fever's head coach Stephanie White is set to miss yet another game due to personal reasons, according to a report. White, who was absent from the team's showdown against the Chicago Sky on June 7, is also set to be away from the sidelines for Thursday night's clash against the Golden State Valkyries. The 47-year-old, who is in her first season coaching the Fever, has been forced to miss the clash on the West Coast once again due to personal matters, according to ESPN's Kendra Andrews. Assistant coach Austin Kelly will serve as head coach, with assistants Karima Christmas-Kelly and Briann January set to step into bigger roles. No timeline was given for White's return. White's absence from her team earlier this month coincided with her partner and ABC/ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters' notable omission from the network's coverage of the NBA Finals. During Game 2 in Oklahoma City, veteran broadcaster Mike Breen revealed that Salters missed the matchup due to her mother's health. 'We are thinking of our dear friend and colleague, Lisa Salters,' the Hall-of-Fame announcer said during the Thunder's Game 2 win over the visiting Pacers on June 8 in Oklahoma City. 'Lisa's mom has been dealing with some serious health issues for a while now, so we want to send our love to Lisa and her mom. 'Although we've never met her mom, we owe her a debt of gratitude for giving us the gift of Lisa Salters, who is the teammate everyone in our business should strive to have.' Jorge Sedano, who typically works for ESPN radio, had filled in for Salters before she returned to the airwaves for Game 5 on Monday. However, with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers set to go head-to-head in a potential Game 6 decided Thursday night, it is currently unclear whether Salters, like her partner, will once again be absent from the coverage. It also remains unclear whether White's absence is linked to the ongoing health battles of Salters' mother. However, fearful fans were quick to take to social media to send their well-wishes and prayers following the news of White's withdrawal. Despite their longtime romance, basketball fans had been shocked to learn of Salters and White's relationship when their coinciding absences emerged earlier this month. White and Salters have been romantically involved since at least 2016, according to multiple reports. The longtime partners raise a blended family, sharing four sons - White's three biological children, Landon, 13, and twins Aiden and Avery, 11, from a previous marriage, and Salters' adopted son, Samuel, 11. White's absence will come as a big loss for the Fever during a turbulent time for the team after superstar Caitlin Clark found herself at the center of multiple skirmishes during Tuesday's clash against the Connecticut Sun. Clark was prodded in the eye was jabbed in the eye by Connecticut 's Jacy Sheldon, who had previously been caught in a heated exchange with the Fever guard, before being slammed to the floor by Marina Mabrey in a violent moment which sparked outrage online. Mabrey was shockingly not ejected from the game and was instead assessed just a technical - which has since been upgraded to a flagrant 2. Meanwhile, Clark's teammate and friend Sophie Cunningham was assessed with a flagrant foul and immediately ejected from the heated contest late in the game. With 46.1 seconds remaining in the game, Cunningham wrapped her arms around the Sun guard's head and pulling her to the ground in an act of revenge after her foul on Clark. Following the bust-ups, White claimed that 'everybody [in the league] is getting better, except the officials.' 'I started talking to the officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was going to happen,' White said. 'You could tell it was going to happen. So, they've got to get control of it. They've got to be better.'
