The World Cup may not have reached the knockout stages yet, but one of the tournament’s most viral moments has already emerged. During Canada’s emphatic 6-0 victory over Qatar, Canadian head coach Jesse Marsch delivered a sideline celebration that instantly took social media by storm. Fans and commentators quickly began competing to name Marsch’s wild dance, which resembled a blend of a hockey stop and karate chops. The moves have been humorously dubbed everything from “the sausage slice” to “the Marsch shuffle,” with GIFs of the celebration racking up hundreds of thousands of views.
However, Canada’s historic first-ever World Cup win came with a bitter note. Early in the second half, midfielder Ismaël Koné suffered a severe leg fracture, ruling him out for the remainder of the tournament.
