Original Title: Canada coach Jesse Marsch on facing Edin Džeko’s Bosnia: “I don’t know if you (heard Džeko’s) comment after the game, but he dedicated (the win) to a group of friends who were killed in a bombing when he was young. These kids grew up in a war-torn country and a lot of them were lucky to escape.“
“It’s a hard team,” manager Jesse Marsch said of the team that completes a group also featuring Switzerland and Qatar. “I don’t know if you (heard Bosnia forward Edin Džeko’s) comment after the game, but he dedicated (the win) to a group of friends who were killed in a bombing when he was young. These kids grew up in a war-torn country and a lot of them were lucky to escape.
“These young men have been through a lot in life, and I think it really served them well in the last week where they were in difficult situations.”
