Jesse Marsch, the head coach of Canada's men's national soccer team, had some strong words for U.S. President Donald Trump while speaking at the CONCACAF Nations League Finals media day on Wednesday.
"Canada is a strong, independent nation that is deep-rooted in decency, really; and it's a place that values high ethics and respect," said Marsch. The political drama added an extra flare to the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey tournament that took place in Canada and the United States earlier in February, and also led to the U.S. anthem being booed at sporting events across Canada over the last few weeks.
Canada is slated to face Mexico in the semi-final round of the CONCACAF Nations League tournament on Mar. 20, while the United States takes on Panama on the other side of the table."For me, right now, I couldn't be prouder to be the Canadian national team head coach and I found a place that embodies the ideals and morals of not just what football is but what life is - that's integrity, respect, and the belief that good people can do great things together," Marsch said.
