Canadian soccer coach Marsch tells Trump to 'lay off ridiculous rhetoric' of Canada as 51st state: Canada soccer coach Jesse Marsch waded into politics Wednesday, telling United States President Donald Trump to "lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being a 51st state."

The 51-year-old Marsch, a former U.S. international who was born in Racine, Wisc., made his comments at a CONCACAF news conference at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., the site of next month's CONCACAF Nations League Finals featuring Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Panama

Leave it to Marsch to tell it like it is while US Federation rep Oguchi Onyewu mumbles some diplomatic bullshit and ducks the issue. As if he's worried that a dimbo like Ingraham will tell him to shut up and dribble.

Onyewu was born in the US. Not sure what his job security is like, but there are a lot of people who would have more reason to fear the US Gestapo than he does.

Maybe he's worried about pissing off US Soccer's corporate sponsors like Bud and Coke.

Happy US No Buy Day.
