In the wake of Wednesday's 2-1 win over Ireland, the Canadian team plans no media access until the mandatory pre-game news conference Sunday, following training, ahead of Monday's do-or-die game with Australia at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
"With the accumulated load from the past month, the tech team has decided togive the players extra days off," team spokeswoman Marianne Gagne told The Canadian Press in an email."We will only be training on MD-2 and MD-1 , with only MD-1 open to the media. I want to reiterate that any decisions around opening or closing training sessions to the media are made as a consensus between the tech team, players, and I.
It's the second straight tournament that Canada Soccer has drawn criticism for its media policy. In Qatar at the men's World Cup, reporters complained of a lack of access to high-profile players.
