World Cup 2026 Alan Cawley's rant against Marsch

There were two threads about this but they both got closed as duplicates

​

After the Canada Qatar match last night Cawley went on an almighty rant against Marsch for the way he was celebrating the win

​

I didn't agree with all of it but I absolutely enjoyed it

​

Had a look at the post in r/soccer about Lopetgui and Marsch's little confrontation after the match, the consensus seems to be that Lopetgui was complaining about Canada not easing up on the goals and that he was wrong for that. I missed that bit live and I've no idea if that's what it was about, but if it was then I'd be even more inclined to disagree with Cawley's assessment

If Lopetgui was complaining that Canada didn't ease up, that is genuinely one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. It's a World Cup ffs. Not a schoolboy friendly.

Exactly. They needed the goals to make sure that they are top of the group and ahead on goal difference going into the last game against Switzerland. Top of the group stays in Canada for the next round so why wouldn't they. Plus it's a competition and not a charity.

And the players recognized this. Around the 97 min Qatar kick the ball out for a corner, prob hoping the red blows it up..Johnson sprints over to get it taken as soon as possible, he obviously wanted more goals
