‘As an American, I’m ashamed of the arrogance and disregard that we’ve shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies,’ Marsch said
Canada head coach Jesse Marsch, right, on July 5, 2024, in Arlington, Texas. Marsch made his comments at a CONCACAF news conference at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Canada soccer coach Jesse Marsch waded into politics Wednesday, telling United States President Donald Trump to “lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being a 51st state.”
He was asked about the recent Four Nations Face-Off hockey final between Canada and the U.S. and, as an American coaching the Canadian men’s team, how comfortable was he with “all this political stuff happening right now.” “These international tournaments for Canada mean something different now,” Marsch said. “And as an American, I'd like to address the 51st state discourse, which I find unsettling and frankly insulting.
Marsch said that in his time as head coach he has found that Canada values “fairness and unity” and is a country where people find strength in their differences.
