An upbeat Jesse Marsch revealed his first roster as Canada coach on Monday, serving up plenty of enthusiasm if not innovation.

Marsch's roster contains 20 of the 23 players called up by interim coach Mauro Biello for Canada's last outing — a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in a Copa America playoff March 23 in Frisco, Texas. While calling Davies "one of the world's best left backs if not the world's best left back," Marsch said his goal will be to find ways to make the Bayern Munich star "a key cog in the wheel of the system of what we're doing."
Canada, ranked 49th in the world, plays the seventh-ranked Netherlands there before facing No. 2 France three days later in Bordeaux. Marsch said he will name his coaching staff on Wednesday, suggesting that Biello would be part of his team. Biello was an assistant to Marsch when he coached Montreal in its 2012 debut season in Major League Soccer.
