“I believe we were the better team. However, they capitalized better on specific situations and possessed a bit more quality in the final third of the pitch,” the specialist commented.

The coach revealed that Canada's strategy was to maintain a consistently high tempo throughout the game, but a lack of effectiveness in front of goal tipped the scales in Morocco's favor. Despite the heavy defeat, the American praised his players for their efforts and thanked the fans for their unwavering support.
