Canada's coach analyzes the defeat against Morocco at the 2026 World Cup

 The head coach of the Canadian national team, Jesse Marsch, expressed his opinion after the defeat against Morocco (0-3) in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. "They took advantage of a few more opportunities than we did, but certainly not because of a lack of intensity. They just had a little more class in finishing and we lacked the skills to take our chances in key moments. In terms of our game plan, our understanding of football and how this group of guys, believing in themselves, bravely is moving forward, facing top rivals who have not lost for a long time, and forcing them to play at the highest level - in the first half and at the beginning of the second. But for our fans, everything was decided by the moment when the score became 1-0... In the first half, all 11 players on the field showed outstanding play. We were only missing luck to open the score, and then everything was decided by the smallest details bravely, plays forward and goes out on the pitch with the desire to win," the FIFA website quotes Marsch as saying. Morocco will play against France in the quarterfinals. --- ## Related Articles 1.
