American Coach Marsch Wins World Cup Knockout Game, Tells Critics Where to Go
American coach Jesse Marsch led Canada's men's national soccer team to its first-ever World Cup knockout victory on Sunday, then delivered a post-game speech that had the media clutching their pearls. His response to the critics? He doesn't care. Marsch, just the second American coach to win a World Cup knockout match, made clear that results matter more than media approval.
What Happened After Canada's Historic World Cup Win?
Canada beat South Africa 1-0 in Inglewood, California, punching their ticket to the round of 16. After the final whistle, Marsch gathered his players on the pitch, cameras rolling, and called them Canadian heroes.
Stephen Eustaquio's goal sealed the deal. It was a historic day for Canadian soccer: first World Cup win, first advancement to the knockout stage, and now first knockout victory. That's what you call a winning record.
