CanadaFan123 Posted Monday at 10:56 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:56 PM With the type of opposition we’ve faced, 8 out of 10 halves with clean sheets is an incredible stat. johnyb, Lansdude, TOcanadafan and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted Tuesday at 03:23 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:23 AM I take it that Fox's coverage will now become far more Marsch-centric now that "U-S-A!" is out. Or they'll just keep on with the Messi hype train. TGAA_Star, johnyb, costarg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they'll just keep on with the Messi hype train. I have not watched Fox until today, saw the preview and early part only (family dinner and then, sadly, they chose to sit outside in the sun beside the river, instead of inside where the game was on), but was stunned how canned it all is. They have some editors telling them the talking points, they follow what they are told, it is extremely unnatural, like they'd prefer to not have anyone actually think. Then try the friendly banter to do their lame Kate Abdo and co imitation, but without the substance and lacking the character. Must say that I have found TSN to be a bit of an embarrassment also, too many backroom boys who disrespect soccer fans by telling those faces on air what to say. TSN has come up with so many garbage idiotic stats, where do they think this has any place in the experience of the game? narduch, red card, costarg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been worse: they could have brought back former NFL wideout Chad Johnson for his fanboy perspective. That was comically awful on so many levels.

If they want to take someone who is, say, an opera singer or the mayor of Dublin who is a big Spurs fan, and ask at halftime what he thinks of the match, then great. But that is about it. Remember snooker player Mark Selby being from Leicester getting interviewed when they won EPL. Fine, lovely. But never the main opinion, the pundit or hired. And anything more is pushing it.

TGAA_Star Posted Tuesday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:47 PM I bet certain Americans are regretting not getting Marsch when they had the chance to. But now he's ours. gator, Obinna, maccaliam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted Wednesday at 06:47 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:47 PM Athletic aren't looking too impressed by Jesse's attire in their review of Copa America manager fashion: Shorts. I never thought we would see the day. Jesse Marsch’s homecoming has been a bold one. Even in the hottest climates it is rare to see a manager go bare legged like the Wisconsin-native did in Kansas City for Canada’s game against Peru. (Admittedly, it was very hot.) Did he have a family trip to Trader Joe’s lined up after the match? There is a movement that Marsch may well now be a leader of. That movement is called Men Wearing Shorts In All Weathers (MWSIAW). Getting Canada out of a group that had Argentina in was a win, wearing shorts could prove to be a bigger one. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5607414/2024/07/03/copa-america-manager-berhalter-fashion/ Obinna, Cheeta, Canuckia and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find anyone worrying about what a coach wears is really reaching. I had a bewildering argument on this board once with someone who thought the Barça women's coach was inappropriately dressed, after winning the W Champions League.

Not sure I saw any mocking of wardrobe, I don't normally notice coach's clothes myself (shame on me, apparently) He just looked like Academy award winner Martin Landau. Dressed pretty nice there. And Ed Wood that he won his Oscar for is a great movie. Edited Thursday at 02:45 AM by WestHamCanadianinOxford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points but Marsch isn't with the USA. He is with us in our program and because of that, we are not only thriving but he is too and that's a good thing for us you know? eramosat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of your thing. Right? No actually, there are two pages of mocking his dress and his look, maybe 4-6 posts, and their added mocking likes. Mocking a 70 year old's way of dressing. You just choose to ignore data when it doesn't fit your narrative. I appreciate not everyone reads entire threads, I tend to read match threads afterwards to get the tone and feel. And I responded in fact, joking about Jesse, because I thought it was stupid. It's not important enough to give you a link reference if you're too lazy to care. You have to wonder what your motivation is to claim something easy to corroborate is in my mind, or others. As you do constantly. Just shut up if you couldn't be bothered to look at the posts when they appeared for all to see. WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I missed less than 25% of 1 page worth on a match thread of 46, I do honestly apologise.
