Gold Cup 2023: Canada is looking to make the big coup at the tournament

Canada is probably the team that has worked better in recent years and their results are a clear sign of remarkable progress and that every day they have as a more competitive team and reach the 2023 Gold Cup with the desire to reach at least in the end.

Led by John Herdman, Canada is seeking to continue advancing the process that will take them to the 2026 World Cup where it will host them alongside the United States and Mexico.

Since the arrival of this coach five years ago, Canada has shown very impressive progress, and of course the great achievement was qualifying for the last World Cup, even though they couldn’t qualify from the group stage.

Canadian champion in 2000

There are many differences between that team that won the Gold Cup in 2000 and this team, at that time they got the title almost casually and the only great result in that tournament was serving Mexico exactly in the quarter-finals.

Today it is a team with a European presence, more than half of its team plays outside Canada and its progress is clear. Players such as Milan Borgan, Red Star goalkeeper and Junior Howlett from Reading are in the second division. England.

However, we will never see Bayern Munich’s greatest footballer Alphonse Davies nor Kyle Larraine and Tajon Buchanan.

Finally, the Canadian national team made its debut in the Gold Cup on the 27th against the winner of the duel between the Guadalupe Islands and Guyana, after which it will face the Guatemalan national team and end the group stage against Cuba on July 4.
