Canada coach Jesse Marsch under investigation by CONCACAF
June 19 - The Canadian Soccer Association and head coach Jesse Marsch are under investigation by CONCACAF over claims of rules violations and the use of offensive language during Canada's 6-0 Gold Cup win over Honduras on Tuesday. Marsch wasn't even on the sidelines for the game since he was serving a two-game suspension for receiving a red card in Canada's third-place game of the Nations League finals against the United States in March. "The Disciplinary Committee will review all available evidence, including official reports detailing that the CSA and its head coach disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward CONCACAF match officials," CONCACAF said it a statement Thursday. Marsch claimed in March that Canada has long been treated with "disrespect" by CONCACAF match officials. Marsch, 51, is a native of Wisconsin, who played more than 300 games in MLS with D.C. United, the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA. He was a head coach with the Montreal Impact and New York Red Bulls before heading to Europe, where he has coached at Red Bull Salzburg (Austria), RB Leipzig (Germany) and Leeds United (England). --Field Level Media

Canada's Jesse Marsch under investigation for Gold Cup rules violations
Concacaf has opened a disciplinary investigation into Canada head coach Jesse Marsch following claims of rules violations and using offensive language during Tuesday's 6–0 win over Honduras at the Gold Cup. The probe comes as Marsch is already serving a two‑game suspension for misconduct during a Nations League match against the U.S. in March, where he was ejected and later fined after refusing to leave the touchline and berating officials. Concacaf's Disciplinary Committee said Wednesday it is reviewing evidence that the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) and Marsch "disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward Concacaf match officials" during the Honduras game. Concacaf has cautioned both Marsch and Canada that further violations "could result in more severe sanctions." Check out the top moments from this match between Canada and Honduras Marsch was not present on the sideline at BC Place in Vancouver due to his continued suspension, watching the game from a suite at the stadium. Assistant coach Mauro Biello managed the team in the win. Despite Marsch not on the sideline, Canada produced a dominating performance despite missing stars like Alphonso Davies and Stephen Eustáquio. Niko Sigur opened the scoring in the 27th minute, and Tani Oluwaseyi made it 2–0 before halftime. Tajon Buchanan tallied a brace, while Promise David and Nathan Saliba – the latter scoring his first international goal – completed the rout. With the win, Canada sits atop Group B and will play Curaçao on June 21 in Houston. Their final group game against El Salvador follows on June 24. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

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. ___ AP soccer:
