Halford & Brough in the Morning · Will Alphonso Davies Play Sunday? · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

It's due.

It's fantastic.

I love the spot.

I really do.

Well, I mean, it's been hard to not write about Jesse Marsh through this tournament, right?

But I don't think – I think, if I'm being honest, that was kind of –

Trying to understand Alphonso Davies' status, or let me rephrase that, trying to understand why the greatest Canadian soccer player ever was being used as a decoy at the World Cup.

So I wrote about it then in a pretty honest, critical column.

I don't know where you guys stand, but this was a story –

After Switzerland, this was a huge story yesterday.

Alphonso Davies will not have played a single minute of the World Cup in front of Canadian fans.

And you can't call that anything but a disappointment.

My understanding is he was never really in contention to play the first two games.

But Alphonso Davies says to Jesse Marsh, according to Jesse Marsh, I'm ready to play...

The third game, and Jesse Marsh essentially says, you haven't hit your max volume yet.

Again, according to Jesse Marsh, and we'll reveal why I'm saying that in a minute, and he says, no, you're not going to go.

After the Switzerland game, Alphonso Davies walks through the mix zone on his phone and doesn't stop to answer reporter questions.

Look, again, I'd love to hear what you guys think, but you're the captain of a national team at a home World Cup game.

um stephanie stacchio jonathan david stopped to take questions like this is this is a difficult look and that was difficult for me to square and then we learned that you know jesse marsh even though he said before the game alfonso is available and he expects him to play he then says afterwards no i wasn't really being completely truthful he was never going to play i was using him as a decoy and

it's the World Cup, that's what you have to do, because essentially, if you're Jesse Marsh, you're thinking, well, if Switzerland's coach spends an extra five minutes planning for Davies, that's five minutes less than he can spend planning for the rest of the team.
