Jesse Marsch: windmilling human meme or shrewd protector of suddenly dangerous Canada?

Some on the internet are tiring of the American’s antics with Les Rouges. But there’s an argument that he is taking the heat off his players

Some corners of the internet were determined that Canada’s totemic and traumatic 6-0 World Cup victory on Thursday would be remembered mostly through Jesse Marsch memes.

The American’s handsy sideline shuffle after Jonathan David rifled the first goal of a hat-trick past Qatar duly racked up social media views by the million. Shots of Marsch holding up six fingers to Canada fans at the end of the match were chopped and put side by side with Michael Jordan in identical pose after winning his sixth NBA title with the Chicago Bulls.
