Canada coach Jesse Marsch downplays latest CONCACAF disciplinary proceeding
Canada coach Jesse Marsch is downplaying a CONCACAF investigation into his actions during the Canadian men's opening game at the Gold Cup.
Marsch told a news conference in Houston, in advance of Canada's game against Curacao on Saturday, that the issue was of more interest to the media than the team. Noting that the disciplinary process was ongoing, he asked that questions focus on football.

Saturday's contest marks the end of Marsch's two-game ban arising from a red card during the CONCACAF Nations league third-place game in March. But the coach remains in the spotlight, facing more disciplinary action initiated by CONCACAF after Canada's 6-0 win over Honduras on Tuesday in Vancouver.
CONCACAF said its Disciplinary Committee is reviewing whether Canada and Marsch did not follow regulations involving suspended officials and whether offensive language was used toward CONCACAF match officials.
The CONCACAF investigation reportedly focuses on where Marsch watched the game and language used when he was asked to move.
TV showed Marsch in a B.C. Place Stadium suite, taking notes and watching, with a laptop in front of him, alongside other Canadian team officials. Assistant coach Mauro Biello ran the sideline in his absence.

‘100% not the vibe': New Gen Z-targeted warning signs at Lynn Canyon aim to stop cliff jumping
New warning signs are up at Lynn Canyon designed to resonate with younger visitors. (Courtesy: District of North Vancouver) The District of North Vancouver has adopted the language of the younger generations in its latest effort to discourage cliff jumping at a popular swimming spot. New text message-shaped signs went up last week at Lynn Canyon with Gen Z-coded slogans warning of the perils of taking the plunge. 'Injured in Lynn Canyon? 100% not the vibe,' one reads. Another says, 'Real ones keep their friends alive.' 'Spoiler Alert: Your viral jump ends in the hospital,' and 'Your friends might cheer. First responders won't,' the other two warn. All of the signs end with the reminder: 'Cliff jumping can be deadly.' According to the district, more than 40 people have died and many more were injured at Lynn Canyon over the past 50 years. It says just this month, firefighters have been kept busy rescuing cliff jumpers in the park. Last July, a man in his 20s died after jumping from Twin Falls in Lynn Canyon. Police said he was under water for half an hour before first responders could reach him. Days later, another young man who dove off a cliff while intoxicated had to be rescued from the water. 'The water is icy, and hypothermia can set in very quickly. The cliffs are steep and slippery, with some areas being unstable,' the district warned in a statement. 'Water levels and conditions can change rapidly, creating a hazardous situation for visitors, first responders, and park rangers.' It urged people to talk to their kids, friends and family members about the risks associated with the activity. 'The message is clear: Cliff jumping might look cool, but it's seriously dangerous—and sometimes deadly.'
