Jesse Marsch: The US Fan Perspective 

What? Jesse taking on Canada job? Steal. Can we trade them Berhalter for Jesse? Jesse is built for this kind of gig.

My US fan perspective... Canada has got a steal. He's a great value for Canada. This isn't a disrespect to either Canada or Jesse Marsch but his resume is above Canada. Jesse has more positives than negatives and especially for how Canada will want to play with their player pool. I genuinely think he will tailor his approach to be more pragmatic which will make his teams dangerous in CONCACAF. The federation is in shambles but the squad themselves and Jesse will make Canada proud.

This was great interview!

He is the best U.S coach by far. The USMNT passed him over for berhalter I think it was ? and I believe he's very motivated to prove them wrong. Touche Marsch. He now has a team with a ton of youth and some great star pieces, excited to see him lay it down

great discussion

Great show, I was watching while getting ready for bed, was perfect

I already cheered for Canada in everything except for playing the USA. Even more so now. I just hope this does not kill Jesse's Euro chances. Granted he might have to do a Bob Bradley and go for a lesser Euro team after his national team gig.

On point. The thing is though, the fact that Canada hired Jesse is going to intensify the rivalry, even though it’s not a historical rivalry. Im happy for Canada, US, Jesse, and CONCACAF on this move.

i love this

2024 Copa America Semi-Finals: 🇦🇷 vs 🇨🇦 & 🇧🇷 vs 🇺🇸.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought in one interview Jesse said he would adapt since he realized his system hasn't been working for a while now.

Jesse uses a zonal marking system, not a man marking system. His pressing is based around the ball, not the players.

I'd rather have Jesse than Greg. I'd rather have a ton of people over Greg. Greg's already proven he's ass, picks bad sides, and massively outcoached like against Netherlands. Now sure, not sure Jesse's, can sort out a defense. As for Leipzig and Leeds. It didn't work at Liepzig because they sold his two centerbacks. One to Liveprool in Konate. And Leeds they never bought good defenders. So it's logical it didn't improve. Plus they sold Raphina. I'm rooting for Jesse. And I'm American. It however speaks volumes to me that you guys say the US player pool doesn't fit pressing. When every top team in the big leagues presses to some degree.

Canada will do better than the US in 2026 WC because they have the clearly much better coach for the world stage. The US let Marsch slip thru their fingers and should already be regretting it.

Pete is like a totally different guy here on a Canadian podcast than he ever has been on his own podcast, or when he joins his buddy Tact. On those podcasts he often makes snide remarks about the "rude Canadians" & he & Tact even went on & on in one podcast about Canada slipping in all areas, including music, which was clearly an ignorant thing to say; but I'm quite that they thought that they were being very funny... By the way, he is the first American analyst that I have listened to who has said that Jesse wouldn't have been a good fit for the U.S. team & that most Americans wouldn't have wanted him as coach. All the others pretty well have said the opposite. Pretty sure Pete just didn't want to admit that Canada outdid the U.S. in this case. One thing that Pete was consistent with was his disdain for Berhalter. It's so bad that Pete & Tact always way over value the U.S. players & team & blame everything on Berhalter, whenever things go wrong.. I sure hope that jesse brings Canada back to the level that they should be at. I am expecting a very rough first 3 games versus elite teams. Hopefully we will be positively surprised.

I am sorry, Pete, what your saying is bulls h t. While at Leeds, he didn't play the press against Man City, he beat Liverpool with an obvious counterattacking style. What you say is crap. Jesse got fired because the stupid Leeds fans kept calling for his head and the back office caved, even though the teams XG was toward the middle of the league. They wanted a coach with a Euro accent, and go a succession of coaches who completely screwed it up. The only thing right you said was that Jesse was inspirational -- the Leeds players would have gone through a brick wall for him. He also is directly responsible for turning Tyler Adams career around. Watch out for Canada -- we will rue the day US Soccer did not show GGG the door and hire Jesse.
