MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — The Canadian women’s national team is keeping a wary eye on concerns about its federation back home while focusing on a showdown with the United States in Mexico. An investigation reported this week by The Sports Network detailed a controversial agreement between Canada Soccer and Canada Soccer Business, which oversees the federation’s media rights and sponsorship deals  — as both the men’s and women’s teams seek better and more equitable pay. Earlier this week, the Canadian senior national teams put out a statement about the revelations in the report and asked for a full investigation by the agency that governs sport in Canada.
