CanMNT Talk: Uneven showing vs. Ireland in Montreal
In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we discuss Canada's effort in its final World Cup tune-up match at Stade Saputo.
The Canadian men’s team will enter the FIFA World Cup on the back of a seven-game unbeaten run and with just one regulation time loss in its previous 17 outings.
Yet, the June international window was a mixed bag for Canada, as it failed to put together a 90-minute performance in a 2-0 win over Uzbekistan in Edmonton earlier this week and again in a 1-1 draw against the Republic of Ireland on Friday in Montreal.
With his team’s opening World Cup match just one week away, Canadian coach Jesse Marsch clearly wants to control the narrative, and he was quick to quash any criticism of his team when speaking to reporters after the stalemate in Montreal.
“I'm sure we're going to get a million questions, but I'm going to be positive, guys. I'm not here to take a bunch of negative questions, and if you ask me negative questions, I'll just move on to the next one,” Marsch said after the game in Montreal.
