TORONTO, June 11 (Reuters) - Jesse Marsch has a ⁠simple message for anyone wondering whether his Canada side are ready for the weight of a home World Cup: they are not ⁠just ready for it, they want it.

Canada will arrive at Toronto Stadium on Friday for their first World Cup game ‌on home soil carrying the weight of a nation after a build-up that has been defined as much by the treatment room as the training pitch, but Marsch is undaunted.
