Canada's Jesse Marsch admits underpreparedness against Bosnia in World Cup opener

Jesse Marsch acknowledged his lack of preparation for Canada’s first half in their opening match against Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Canada, sharing hosting duties with the U.S. and Mexico, equaled their best-ever World Cup result with a late equalizer from Cyle Larin after trailing since the 21st minute. Marsch emphasized the need for improved performance and response from his players, particularly in the first half. The team will next face Qatar in Vancouver on June 18.
