Canada coach Jesse Marsch ban extended to 2 games by CONCACAF over red card vs US
MIAMI — Canada coach Jesse Marsch was suspended for an additional game by CONCACAF's disciplinary committee, extending the punishment to two games for his conduct during the Nations League third-place match against the U.S. last month.
In going beyond the automatic one-game ban for a red card, CONCACAF's disciplinary committee cited Marsch on Thursday for 'for unacceptable conduct towards the match officials and for delaying the restart of the match by refusing to leave the field of play.' It said 'more severe sanctions could be taken should incidents occur during future matches.'
'We are frustrated by, and strongly disagree, with today's decision to add an extra game to Jesse Marsch's suspension,' the Canadian Soccer Association said in a statement. 'We are reviewing the matter further and communicating with CONCACAF.'
Marsch will miss Gold Cup group stage games against Honduras and Curaçao in June.
Marsch was ejected in the 54th minute of Canada's 2-1 win on March 23 for complaining when Mexican referee Katia Garcia didn't make a call after Jonathan David hit the turf. Replays appeared to show David lost his footing as he attempted to evade Max Arfsten. There had been no call when David had gone down minutes earlier in the U.S. penalty area under pressure from Tyler Adams.

No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner featured on Andrea Bocelli's new single
ROME (AP) — Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner is featured on Andrea Bocelli's new single, 'Dust and Glory' that was released Friday. The song, which blends Italian and English, mixes Bocelli's vocals with spoken verses from Sinner. It's a tribute to the struggle and beauty of life's journey, and 'the fine line that turns dust into glory.' There's also an accompanying four-minute music video featuring private footage from the childhoods of both Italian stars, with current scenes filmed at Bocelli's home in Tuscany. 'Talent doesn't exist; it has to be earned,' Sinner says in the recording. 'Sharing this journey with Jannik was fascinating," Bocelli said. "We're from different worlds but close in commitment and discipline in the constant search for authenticity and beauty. I have always been his fan, fascinated not only by his talent, but also by his humility and his inner strength.' Sinner added: 'I am very honored and happy to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag of our country in the world. I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs, all this is a strong emotion.' ___
