And Jesse Marsh, I don't think, has used them completely to what he can.
I think for the best use, you probably have to look at both Switzerland and the U.S.
and what they've been able to do where they're pulling out a tablet, they're going full-on tactics meeting for three minutes.
Whereas Marsh, sometimes there's an intensity to how he's speaking during these hydration breaks, but I'm not sure he's using...
these to the same advantage.
The thing with Canada, though, is this team doesn't really lose games.
They have put two very good performances against Argentina and lost both of those to nil, but this is a team that has grinded out nil-nil draws with some big teams, France, Colombia, Ecuador, Tunisia.
Mexico, Ivory Coast, and Chile are all teams that they've grinded out no-mill draws with, and of course that would be good enough.
So I do think this Canadian team is good enough to get a draw.
I'm still hesitant about them saying maybe we can get a win in this game because...
this Switzerland team is very good.
What we've seen from Jesse Marsh throughout this tournament is the fact that he's really doing in-game management.
We haven't necessarily seen that in his time with Canada because everything has been leading up to this World Cup.
There was a great example of that being the Bosnia game and what he did with Jonathan David after he wasn't performing.
The big call, of course, is how he fits in the midfield with the Ismail Kone absence.
That's probably going to be Nathan Saliba starting there just because he performed so well last time.
But I am worried about Nathan Saliba under a moment like that, given the experiences he's had in his career.
I would be more comfortable possibly with, you know, Jonathan Nazorio.
I think he can handle this moment, but I don't think he's a good enough player to start in this moment.
So that will be the first big call that he has to make.
