Canada men’s soccer coach Jesse Marsch not shy about speaking his mind
Marsch said Americans are "inundated with propaganda" and defended his role as Canada coach as the teams prepare for a rivalry match.
- On Tuesday, Head Coach Jesse Marsch will lead Canada against the United States in St. Paul, Minn., after telling The Guardian that Americans are "inundated with propaganda" and feel they "deserve to be treated differently because we're Americans."
- Political tensions between the two nations have intensified the rivalry, with Marsch noting that U.S. President Donald Trump previously mused about making Canada the so-called "51st state," a dynamic he says remains unchanged.
- Despite previously expressing frustration over being passed over for the U.S. coaching job, Marsch insists he holds "no grudge," stating "I think the rivalry is better than it's ever been, more because the two teams are good."
- The match kicks off Tuesday at Allianz Field, with the United States entering on a 3-0-0 run after defeating Mexico, Chile, and Peru, while Canada recently blanked Peru 2-0.
- During Monday's press conference, Marsch defended his comments, stating he is "not afraid to say things that I think sometimes need to be said," emphasizing his responsibility to speak on issues he believes matter.
