Canada coach Jesse Marsch says his team played better than Morocco despite being eliminated from the World Cup in a 3-0 defeat in the Round of 16. Multiple reports quote Marsch arguing that Canada controlled key periods of the match and were more likely to create chances, particularly in the first half. He acknowledges that goals decided the contest but maintains that Canada’s overall performance warranted a different outcome. Marsch also frames the loss as a step achieved by the squad, saying that reaching the last 16 would have been a satisfactory result before the tournament. After the elimination, he emphasizes pride in Canada’s showing and urges the players to continue performing at the levels they have reached in the competition. While Morocco’s victory ends Canada’s run, Marsch’s comments focus on how Canada approached the game and the aspects of play he believes supported their claim to have been the better team.
