Canadian Championship Quarterfinals: What does this mean for the CanPL?

Go Cavs!

yup

What I mean is that the US didn't raise a generation of players with Champions League level skill only so that we can feast on hustling, pressing and turnovers. HIs antipathy towards Gio is point 1. Sooner or later, he was going to bench Gio in favor of Brendan Aaronson. And that was just going to set off new drama. But I could see his style possibly working for Canada, which has a few piano players and a fair number of piano movers. Plus Canada has a lot of speed and can cover a lot of ground.   Not saying Canada should go that way and hire Marsch, or that Canada fans should want to go that way, But I do think it might be a better fit. 

I'm in for 3 tickets

17 year-old TJ, 19 year-old Cameron, and 20 year-old Crawford on the bench for VFC. And the 21 year-old Mexican Navarro.

No Simmons afterall.  And Is this Lucas Dias, the dual who came in from Portugal?

I wonder if the roles were reversed and Christiansen was American and Marsch Danish, the latter would be the sexy choice? Likewise if they just switched resumes. I think we also need to stop downplaying the job and how attractive we are tbh.  - World Cup hosts  - Incredible generation of talent  - Copa  - top line friendlies and more likely in the pipeline. - a continent that is only growing and improving.  While the pay likely won't be the highest it's clearly not going to be the lowest.  Again, I don't think he is the worst choice but I fervently believe we could do better than Marsch and find someone more inspiring that this moment deserves to help take our program forward and get fans and players excited again. It's a very big hire, given all the other pieces already coming together are so big and positive.

It's interesting - I thought I'd take a look at Marsch's records in both BuLi and EPL, with a view towards the performance of his teams both before and after he arrived: RB Leipzig: (W-D-L) 20/21 Nagelsmann 28-8-12 (1.92 PPG) 21/22 Marsch 7-4-9 (1.25 PPG) 21/22 Tedesco 17-5-5 (1.87 PPG) Leeds: (W-D-L) 21/22 Bielsa 7-8-15 (0.97 PPG) 21/22 & 22/23 Marsch 11-10-16 (1.16 PPG) 22/23 Assorted coaches 3-4-12 (0.68 PPG) Clearly the dip in form for Leipzig while Marsch was at the helm is a big concern.  I really don't know what exactly transpired there but there were lots of rumours about Marsch's focus on a high press just not being suited to Leipzig's personnel and he kept trying to fit his square peg into the round hole. That said, I was also under the impression that his time at Leeds was an even worse tire fire, but the numbers don't seem to bear that out.  In fact it looks like he fared reasonably well relative to his predecessor and successors.  Maybe someone with more insight could comment on it.  

Flying to Kitchener tomorrow, in fact, from Victoria for some work at U Waterloo which I do three times a year. Westjet has a daily Calgary-Kitchener run. I much prefer it over flying into YYZ and taking the shuttle. Options into KWC are fewer but they exist. Can’t speak for London.
