Sucker-punched

FOOTBALL'S world governing body is reviewing an episode during an Olympic game between the United States and Colombia that left American forward Abby Wambach with a black eye. Wambach said she was "sucker-punched" in the right eye by Lady Andrade in the 39th minute of Saturday's 3-0 win over Colombia. The US team did not file a formal complaint against Andrade, but it did contact FIFA about it. US coach Pia Sundhage said that such behavior "doesn't belong in the game."
