Canada coach Jesse Marsch ban extended to 2 games by CONCACAF over red card vs US
MIAMI (AP) — Canada coach Jesse Marsch was suspended for an additional game by CONCACAF's disciplinary committee, extending the punishment to two games for his conduct during the Nations League third-place match against the U.S. last month.
In going beyond the automatic one-game ban for a red card, CONCACAF's disciplinary committee cited Marsch on Thursday for 'for unacceptable conduct towards the match officials and for delaying the restart of the match by refusing to leave the field of play.' It said 'more severe sanctions could be taken should incidents occur during future matches.'
'We are frustrated by, and strongly disagree, with today's decision to add an extra game to Jesse Marsch's suspension,' the Canadian Soccer Association said in a statement. 'We are reviewing the matter further and communicating with CONCACAF.'
Marsch will miss Gold Cup group stage games against Honduras and Curaçao in June.
Marsch was ejected in the 54th minute of Canada's 2-1 win on March 23 for complaining when Mexican referee Katia Garcia didn't make a call after Jonathan David hit the turf. Replays appeared to show David lost his footing as he attempted to evade Max Arfsten. There had been no call when David had gone down minutes earlier in the U.S. penalty area under pressure from Tyler Adams.

Former NBA great Vlade Divac breaks a hip in motorcycle accident in Montenegro
PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Former NBA center Vlade Divac underwent emergency surgery after breaking a hip in a fall from his motorcycle in Montenegro, doctors said Friday. The accident happened Thursday on a road near the Montenegrin Adriatic Sea coast. Hospital officials said the 57-year-old Divac sustained a fracture and that an artificial hip was implanted. 'During the day, a surgical procedure was performed,' said Ljubica Mitrovic, a spokeswoman of the hospital in the town of Risan. 'He is in a stable general and physical condition and is under a careful supervision of the medical staff.' The 7-foot-1 (2.16m) Serbian center started and ended his 16-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He also played for the Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings. He was an All-Star in 2001. He later served as general manager of the Kings. When he joined the Lakers in 1989, he was among the first group of European players to transfer to the NBA. Divac was also the first player born and trained outside the United States to play in over 1,000 games in the NBA. He was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019. ___
