In a 2024 Copa America, which will be seen as a major success, Canada will either finish fourth or third in the tournament—a position no one expected for Jesse Marsch’s side.
Along the way, the team recorded their only win against Peru but were also held scoreless for every game they played except their 1-1 penalty kick win over Venezuela.
Still, the Jesse Marsch project is off to a “good” start as Canada is the best-positioned Concacaf team at the 2024 Copa America, and many fans tuned in to watch the game from the comfort of their own homes.
