Canada shouldn’t be favourites heading into Gold Cup: captain Jonathan David
VANCOUVER — One of Canada’s brightest soccer stars doesn’t believe the country should be favourites heading into the Gold Cup.
Yes, Canada is a solid squad, striker Jonathan David said, but it has only won the tournament once before — and that was 25 years ago.
“I think to be favourites in a tournament, you have to be the one that maybe has won it the most times,” David told reporters on Monday.
“Of course, I know we have a strong team and we can challenge, for sure, to win it. To be favourites isn’t something I would say, personally. But I know we can achieve it.”
