Canada head coach Jesse Marsch was brutally mocked by James Corden over his cringeworthy World Cup moments after their exit this weekend.
Marsch’s team were knocked out of the tournament by Morocco on Saturday, with a 3-0 defeat in Houston making them the first co-hosts to be eliminated.
Following the loss, Corden trolled the charismatic American on the latest episode of his ‘After Hours’ World Cup show on Fox, bidding farewell to him and his players before playing some highlights of his most bizarre antics this summer.
‘Jesse Marsch, you have been a gift. You have been a gift to our show. We will miss you and all that you do,’ the British presenter said. ‘But sadly, it’s time to say goodbye.’
The highlight reel mainly included footage of Marsch reacting animatedly on the touchline, while it is also showed him passionately singing the Canadian national anthem and having an argument with an opposition manager.
It also featured a clip of him declaring ‘I don’t give a s***’ before chuckling to himself during a recent press conference.

Marsch came under fire after Saturday’s defeat to Morocco over comments he made in his post-match interview with Fox.
Despite being eliminated from the competition, he bizarrely claimed he would still rather be in Canada’s position than Morocco’s.
‘What a privilege our fans have had to root a team on like this,’ Marsch stated in the viral broadcast interview.
‘[A team] that goes after the game, that doesn’t play defensive, that shows that they can be better.’
‘Of course, we have to be in these situations more and more,’ the 52-year-old manager continued. ‘And then we have to find ways to succeed and build on that.’
‘I’d rather be us than them! As good as Morocco is, I’d rather be us.’
‘I’m really proud of our guys, we went after the game. They’re hurting right now but I couldn’t be prouder,’ he concluded, before adding a final ‘I thank Canada’ to the reporter.
The bold declaration immediately went viral across social media, with fans completely baffled by the American coach’s refusal to accept the reality of the 3-0 thrashing.

Viewers on X flooded the comment sections to roast the manager for his perceived lack of self-awareness.
‘Impressive how dumb he continues to make himself look every time he steps in front of a microphone,’ one viewer wrote.
Another fan ripped into the coach’s logic, pointing out the obvious scoreboard deficit: ”I’d rather be us than them.’ But you got outplayed…’
A third user called out the manager, writing: ‘I’ve heard some dumb comments from a coach postgame but I’m not sure I’ve heard anything that compares to that ‘I’d rather be us than them’ from Jesse Marsch. I can’t even process it.’
Other commenters questioned how he plans to maintain his position with the national team following the disastrous exit.
‘What?! Either he’s saying whatever to keep his job or he’s just as bad as advertised or….both lol,’ a baffled supporter stated.
