The Canadian men's team's return to action for the first time since January didn't quite go to plan.

Les Rouges needed two goals from the penalty spot by Jonathan David in the second half to earn a come-from-behind 2-2 draw against Iceland in Saturday's international friendly at BMO Field.

"I love the boys. Their Canadian spirit is so clear; they're so committed to everything. They never back down. And I think that mentality and mindset really served us well today and will continue to serve us well," Jesse Marsch told reporters after the game.

In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we discuss what stood out the most about Canada's performance against Iceland.
