Canada?s Fate in 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup
Playing in Group A, Canada is the strongest team in the draw. And they proved it in the opener against French Guiana, winning the game 4-2. Canada?s National Team has been thriving under the head coach Octavio Zambrano, who has urged the players to play with aggression, be daring and go all out to put their stamp on the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Fans who bought Canada National Team tickets are being rewarded. Their team is enjoying an undefeated streak in 2017 with two wins and in the Gold Cup alone they have bagged a win and managed to draw the game 1-1 against the in-form Costa Rica.
Selecting a dynamic team, Coach Zambrano has given extra attention to speed, defensive and offensive qualities. He has created opportunities for the young players, not just those with talent but also who have the ability to go forward and prove themselves. Disappointing as it is for the fans that Canada couldn?t qualify for 2018 FIFA World Cup, the team has already started working hard to improve their chances for the 2022 campaign.
Canada has been a dominant side in the Gold Cups in terms of number of appearances. Winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup, it became the only team besides the United States and Mexico to lift the trophy. They also won the 1985 CONCACAF Championship which earned them a spot at the 1986 World Cup.
