With a charged win over US, Canada proved they’re a complete squad

Despite losing their best player to injury and their head coach to a red card, Canada hardly lost a step as they beat their northern neighbors on their own turf

American positives from a particularly sobering Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium were in desperately short supply. To be fair, Americans in general had been in short supply there last week, with the abject turnout for both of the host nation’s two games.

One bright spot for the Americans, however, was that Jesse Marsch had been silenced. A second-half red card meant the Canada coach was barred from talking post-match. The dismissal came after an almighty touchline meltdown that spilled on to the playing area as he roared at referee Katia Itzel García after back-to-back penalty appeals. Cameras trailed him through stadium gangways and tunnels as he raged on. ‘Marsch madness’ headlines were a layup.
