No. 7 Netherlands blanks Canadian men 4-0 in friendly
The class of the seventh-ranked Netherlands took its toll on Canada in a four-goal second half, with three of the goals coming in a 13-minute span, as Jesse Marsch’s debut as Canadian men’s soccer coach ended in a 4-0 loss Thursday.
“Our end vision, our end goal is two years from now. And we’re just starting our process,” said Marsch, referencing the 2026 World Cup. “It’s almost unfair to have your first match against the Dutch and your second against the French. But so what? We’ve got to grow up as a team, we’ve got to grow up as a football nation and we’ve got to figure out ways to get better.The Canadians started well, pressing the Dutch, and it was even for much of the first half.
The six-foot-four Van Dijk added to the Canadian pain in the 83rd minute, scoring on a simple header after Canada failed to clear a corner. March, while talking up Davies, said he planned to rotate the captain’s armband for the short-term. And he stressed hat nothing was cast in stone yet in terms of personnel, including his starting goalkeeper.The talent available to Dutch manager Ronald Koeman was on display when van Dijk came off the bench in the 72nd minute. The Liverpool captain cost his club 75 million pounds when he came over from Southampton in January 2018 for a then-world-record transfer fee for a defender.
