Canada's coach Jesse Marsch acknowledges that the current political climate may frighten some supporters away from traveling to the U.S. for the Gold Cup. Reports of tourists being detained at the border have caused a significant drop in Canadian return trips. Marsch emphasizes the importance of fan support for the national team as they aim to succeed in the tournament, expressing disappointment over the fear impacting attendance.
"It would be a shame if we didn't get the kind of fan support that I think our team deserves from our country, from our fans, because of the political climate, especially if we could achieve a lot in this tournament and get to the final, which is our goal."
"I could see trepidation for anyone looking to travel to the U.S. at this current political climate. So it's a sad thing, I think, that we have to talk about visiting the U.S. in this way."
