Canada advanced to the finals of the World Cup 2026 for the first time, but behind the joy, questions remain about the performance of forward Jonathan David, who serves as the team's captain. David, who plays for Juventus, attempted two shots but was unable to hit the target, with an overall pass success rate of 68%. He touched the ball only 41 times during the match and lost the ball 16 times. This made it clear that he was struggling with the ball.
Meanwhile, fellow Canadian representative Promise came on as a substitute and contributed to the team by scoring a goal in just one minute. David has scored three goals in the competition so far, which puts him behind Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, but he is still two goals behind Lionel Messi.
Canada will play either South Korea, Czech Republic or South Africa in the next round, giving David even more opportunities to excel. Juventus are hoping for an increase in his market value and are waiting for a chance to shake off his lackluster season in Turin.
