Jesse Marsch PRAISES Lionel Messi as the "GOAT" ahead of Canada's SEMIS match against Argentina 

Marsch seems very Canadian. This is not a mock against our U.S. friends, but that modest, quiet way is very much like a Canadian.

My respects to this coach. He seems to be such a humble, down-to-earth, and respectful person. I reckon that with his mentality a lot of good things will be coming his way.

@@quilmes99 I'm supporting Argentina tomorrow, but definitely not expecting an easy match, it'll be fun

Good luck to both the team I hope Canada is not LGBTQ A++ Country

Also to not give away too much info, Jessie has obviously idenified areas of weakness

Fire Gregg >:(

The USMNT punching air right now for choosing the wrong guy 😂

It's nice to see Americans get humbled. They expect everything to go perfectly for them all the time. It's nice when the world reminds them that it doesn't revolve around them.

Gracias amigo! Great game and good luck in the gold medal match.

I couldn't agree more.

@@gbbarn of course you do…. Argentian hater

Im Argentinian and I want Colombia to beat Uruguay! Let’s go Colombia!

@@gbbarn keep dreaming

I love Uruguay! My favorite country in Latin America. Go Suarez! Go Uruguay! I hope you guys win it. 🇨🇦 ❤ 🇺🇾

@@joseflemire4284 polar opposite of Herdman

​@@levonlarson4048, Sorry but that is not true. Herdman was the 1st coach to bring Canada to great heights, having achieved being #1 in CONCACAF' in the 2022 qualifiers & having beaten both the U.S. & Mexico, by playing intelligent, fast paced exciting futbol/soccer. He too had these same qualities as Jesse & he was a terrific motivator. It's a shame that Canada played in the 'Group of Death' in that World cup. Still Canada & Herdman opened a lot of eyes around the world, when they outplayed the #2 ranked team in the world at that time in Belgium, but unfortunately lost 1-0. The only negative thing that Canadians could say about Herdman was that he showed that he was not Canadian, or born & raised Canadian, when he somewhat disrespected a very good Croatian team when he said that *we're going to go and 'F' Croatia". It was not a humble move & it kind of embarrassed the players & the country. It also gave Croatia additional incentive to beat Canada & they played their best game & Canada didn't. It was a big mistake on Herdman's part; but still, Herdman was a great Canadian coach & did a lot to make Canada proud. It's been a growth process & Jesse brings a lot of the same qualities as Herdman, which is why he was chosen. I do believe that he brings more tactical knowledge & humility. Go Jesse! Go Canada!

So true. See how butthurt the American soccer analysts are that it's Canada and not the US in the semi final? Lol

Fire Gregg but NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pulisic is a crybaby snowflake. Can't stand that wiener.

All successful international teams in Europe are playing very defensive football now. Portugal (2016), France (2018) and England getting to the final of Euro 2020 are examples of this being used successfully. It looks boring but Marsch has incredibly managed to pull this off with the Canadian team. Argentina are playing like this now as well.

If you thunk he is a bad coach,find anorher then :v

@@andrewsantosguzman8855 Bro when he means he's a bad ass coach, it means he's really good! 😄👍

@@The_Beast_3365 oh shit,I am sorry XD,I though ge doesn't like the coach 🤡

Still 40 min to go but so far prediction is correct 2-0 let's goooo 1 more!!!

Herdman was great for this team, and the ladies team. 👍👍

@@Sid-gu5qk for sure! the ladies were already great before but he helped develop the next generation of both teams. Possibly the best generation ever for Canadian soccer. So I guess maybe he's the guy who built the Lambo lol

Fire Gregg!!!!!!!!!

@anthonyboey3210 Soccer is the most played sport in Canada. There are more registered youth soccer players than hockey and lacrosse combined. We haven't done well in the past because the media doesn't care about it, and we didn't have a professional league. Thanks to the CPL and MLS, that is starting to change, hence why we are developing players like Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies. Regarding Argentina, they haven't played like Argentina and barely made it through against Equador. Canada certainly has a chance. Don't get it twisted

anthonyboey, you are wsy underestimating the Canadian team & nation. While we fully respect Argentina, Canada has been playing soccer for many years & many of Canada's players parents or grandparents were immigrants to Canada & they came from countries in which futbol or soccer was their #1 sport. Canada was not high up in the rankings in basketball 10 years ago either; but now have the 2nd most players in both the NCAA & the NBA, after the U.S. & just won the bronze in the recent FIBA World cup & didn't have all of their best players & are ranked #2 in the world heading into the Paris Olympics. So Canada is by far, not just a hockey & Lacrosse nation & can achieve the highest levels in all sports.

@@jrcanuck1canada isnt going to beat Argentina bro. Just try and think logically, argentinas soccer team is probably worth a billion dollars, canadas probably 100m or so at the most. Its just the reality

@@Schweini_1983 Good points. Not trying to get it twisted. Just trying to be a realist. The soccer ball is round, which means the game can certainly go either way, and Canada might just beat the Argentinian team. But the Canadian team is fairly young in experience in comparison to Messi and his team. The key thing for Canada is to be able to finish off the scoring chances presented to them, which is recent games, is rather weak. Case in point, Buchanan had a open goal to shoot the ball, and he completely messed it up. This is where experience comes in, the calmness of mind to steady yourself under stress and pressure from the opponent team, set yourself up and pop the ball into the awaiting goal net.

@@jrcanuck1 True the game of soccer in Canada is slowly picking up some attention, and thanks to the MLS. But it is still not a very popular game in comparison to other sports like ice hockey. And yes, Canada has been involved in many international tournaments, but to be honest, as a team, much maturity is still needed in terms of game play, skill etc... Alfonso Davies is amazing, but he is only one player , Canada need more alfonso davies like players to populate and beef up the team. How do teams like England, France, Holland, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, do so well internationally (at least historically), because football is the No. 1 passion sport in those countries. MLS is good for Canada, however, it is not currently a passion for most Canadians, in comparison to ice hockey and Lacrosse. But I do not doubt that Soccer will at some point , become one of the more popular sport in Canada. Hopefully more talented players like Davies will appear, and there will be support in Canada to develop such talent that comes up.

Yeah, I feel Colombia is the team to beat.

Colombia are playing really well this tournament lol, what are you saying

Obviously a very non-biased opinion from a Colombian. Loving the humility

@@quilmes99 I'm a neutral

@@BillyBob-cy9yi wasn’t addressing that comment to you brother but the dude that started this post.

They why bother playing? Let’s just forfeit and give them the result 🤦‍♀️

Yes, they can. The game belongs to whomever works hardest. Whether Argentina or Canada. Les Rouges! 🍁

Explorewithfestus, I hope that you meant that you are cheering for Canada & that you are also a Messi fan or supporter.

Great

There is truth to that, but nonetheless one can only overcome what is put in front of oneself. However note Canada only had 1 draw. They BEAT Venezuela.

Just like England in the Euros

But Canada got placed in a harder group than the US and Mexico.

@@MrSupahLMFAO That is for sure. The US had the easiest group and they flopped. Mexico had the 2nd easiest group and they flopped. Americans need to get over it. But no question Canada got the easiest QF possible.

​@djknox2 venezuela is 4th in conmebol. Panama would have been easier

@getreal102008, Jesse Marsch has already said that he was talking somewhat with 'tongue in cheek' when he said that; but the truth is that the coach should have been suspended & they should have shown more professionalism & respect for the Refs, the fans, the media & the Canadian team. I can't imagine any other major professional sport, where the team wonders out that late. What a joke!!! It was bush league & they deserved to get called out for it. Yet another reason why Jesse Marsch is a very good coach!

What the fuzz about? It's about a 49th ranked team making it to the semi finals against the big boys who are all top 15 in the world. Canada group stage is much harder than the US group stage. Canada who is ranked 49th, had to play against rank 1st, 32nd, and 42nd. Meanwhile US, who is ranked 11th, gets to play against ranked 15th, 45th, and 85th. Peru is ranked 32nd and you acting as if they are a bad team. Kinda sad to see how the US struggle in such an easy group stage 😂. Bolivia has worst economic problem than Peru and Venezuela, yet US couldn't even make it out of group stage 🤣🤣

There might be fuzz but the Canadian coach is clearly NOT the one creating any fuzz.

I don't know. We're better than Iraq. So that's something.
