Piette takes spotlight as Canada hosts Peru in Montreal Saturday on TSN - TSN

Jesse Marsch has never shied from the spotlight. Throughout his 15-year management career, Marsch has routinely spoken his mind, even when, perhaps, staying silent might be the better course of action. Unafraid of any potential blowback, Marsch is a reporter’s dream, always ready to offer a controversial soundbite. It should come as no surprise, then, that ahead of Canada’s friendly with the United States on Tuesday night in St. Paul, Marsch has once again made himself the lightning rod during a period of frayed ties between the traditional allies. You can catch Canada vs. the United States LIVE on Tuesday night with pre-game coverage getting underway at 7pm ET/4pm PT ahead of an 8pm ET/5pm PT kick-off on TSN1, TSN.ca and the TSN App. In a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian’s Joe Callaghan, Marsch directed some vitriol towards the nation of his birth and its soccer program. That’s nothing new for the native of Racine, Wis. The 52-year-old Marsch has never hidden his dislike for U. S. Soccer after he believes he was close to becoming the USMNT manager in 2023.

CanMNT to honour Hoilett as it welcomes Chile on

In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we examine Canada's performance in its victory over Peru in Montreal. MONTREAL – The Canadian men's team couldn't ask for a much better start to the latest FIFA international window. Canada made it two shutout wins in a row over South American opposition with a 2-0 victory over Peru on Saturday at Stade Saputo courtesy of Jacob Shaffelburg's first-half brace. Toronto FC defender Richard Chukwu, still only 18, earned his first start in his second appearance for Canada, while coach Jesse Marsch also handed national team debuts to Owen Goodman, Justin Smith and Luca Petrasso. "These are two matches now, against Chile and against Peru, where we walk away feeling like we should score multiple goals, right? Because the identity and the clarity and the talent on the pitch is at a high level, and so we're able to control matches and make teams look bad and make them make it look like they never have a chance in the match," Marsch said. In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we examine Canada's performance vs. Peru.  Watch the video below:

The Canadian men's national team continued a strong start to the September-October international window on Saturday, taking a 2-0 victory over Peru at CF Montréal's Stade Saputo. Jacob Shaffelburg provided both goals for Jesse Marsch's side, accounting for all the scoring with a first-half brace.

Watch as CANMNT winger Jacob Shaffelburg gets Canada rolling in their international friendly against Peru, tallying two first-half strikes to earn himself a brace in Montreal.

Canada’s Luc De Fougerolles is tackled by Peru’s Jairo Vélez during the second half of a Saturday friendly at Montreal’s Saputo Stadium. Canada won 2-0. In these parts it’s apparently called le trac. Irrespective of the language, stage fright can trip any tongue. The singer booked for Saturday afternoon anthem duty at Stade Saputo is, despite limited evidence provided, a francophone. She had practised four times. By its nature, “O Canada,” should ease nerves because, well, the first two words are handy. Yet even by the second lyric — the intonation on Canada all wrong — it was clear le trac had struck.
