Canada’s appearance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar put the nation on the footballing map. As they set out to compete in a very difficult group, it ended rather quickly as they failed to pick up any points and were eliminated after defeat to Belgium in their 2nd game.
Whilst there was immeasurable pride for their nation’s efforts, some Canadian fans were quick to point the finger at Jonathan David. The 23-year-old, who has been a revelation at French side LOSC Lille, was unable to replicate his goal-scoring prowess for the reds.
