NYON, Switzerland -- UEFA opened urgent disciplinary action Tuesday against Champions League contender Metalist Kharkiv after its sports director was implicated in a 2008 match-fixing case. "Due to the urgency of the case ... (it) has been referred directly to the UEFA Appeals Body" which will hold a hearing next Tuesday, UEFA said in a statement. Metalist hosts Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki in the second leg of the Champions Leagues third qualifying round Wednesday and is favoured to advance to the playoff round. Metalist won 2-0 in Greece last week. The playoff round draw is Friday and Metalists UEFA ranking means potential opponents include Arsenal or AC Milan, with first-leg matches scheduled Aug. 20 and 21. However, Champions League regulations state that UEFA should bar clubs involved in match-fixing since April 2007. The Court of Arbitration for Sport last Friday dismissed Metalist director Yevhen Krasnikovs appeal against a five-year ban from football. CAS upheld a Ukraine Football Federation ruling that Krasnikov helped fix a league match against Karpaty Lviv in April 2008. Metalist seems likely to be as active legally as on the pitch in coming weeks. Club president Sergii Kurchenko suggested last Friday it could appeal the CAS ruling to Switzerlands supreme court, which can overturn judgments if legal process was abused. "I think that this decision will not have significant consequences for Metalist in the future," said Kurchenko, who became club president in December. If UEFAs appeal panel rules against Metalist in the latest case, that judgment can also be challenged at CAS -- even as the Ukrainian league runner-up pursues its debut Champions League campaign.

Youve heard of Buccis Overtime Challenge? Well, this is Buccis Hat Trick Challenge. Whats the challenge part? Regularly coming up with three hits about the World Cup of Hockey, which starts Saturday with USA-Europe (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2) and Canada-Czech Republic (8 p.m. ET, ESPNEWS). Go, Booch!1. Pay the coaches: Canada has obviously created a buy-in culture with their players at international events. But when you watch a Canada practice, you see how the assistant coaches, normally strong head coaches, also have bought in to their roles. Head coach Mike Babcock runs a fast-paced practice and his assistant coaches have to stay on their toes and keep those pucks ready for the fast-paced drills. Claude Julien, who had his second hip replacement earlier in the year, had to keep scrambling to keep a 2-on-1 transition drill going Friday. He was still winded after practice. For some reason, none of these coaches is being paid for coaching the World Cup. I know its an honor to coach on these star-studded teams, but this is a for-profit tournament, and you would think a small thanks for coming stipend/coaching fee would be appropriate.2. The kid is as advertised: Auston Matthews is already a topic of conversation here at the World Cup. A Team North America management member told me Matthews is getting better every day and has that thick, Phil Esposito body type that makes it hard to get the puck from him. Matthews can handle the puck down low, get scoring chances and find the open man. I shook Matthews hand and chatted with him a bit.dddddddddddd He has big, strong hands and an engaging personality. Hes a little guarded in formal interviews, but as he ages I think he will evolve into a very good and entertaining soundbite. Hes smart and unflappable and looks like a young Jack White. (Fall is here/Hear the yell/ Back to school/Ring the bell.) Matthews turns 19 on Saturday, the day the World Cup starts. Matthews and Team North America play their first game Sunday against Patrick Laine (Lion-AY) and Finland at 8 p.m. on ESPN2. Ill do the play-by-play, Kevin Weekes will be in the booth with me, and Darren Pang will be between the benches.3. Are you ready for this? Many are still in summer golf mode. The weather in Toronto has been perfect. I spent most of Team USAs media time talking golf with the New Jersey Devils forward Kyle Palmieri. Another player mentioned that Jason Day told him that part of his new, lucrative Nike clothing deal allows him to wear other logos on his Nike golf shirt. So there is breaking golf apparel news for you. Darren Pang told me that Corey Perry and Sidney Crosby took Pang aside and talked golf. Crosby is apparently down to about a 10 handicap. Brandon Dubinsky and I broke down the Columbus, Ohio, golf courses. Now, its time for hockey. After a long period of anticipation, the World Cup of Hockey is here.
