The expectations are high for the Canadian men’s national team heading into the Concacaf Gold Cup quarterfinal against Guatemala on Sunday.
After winning the group stage for the first time since 2009, Canada enters the knockout round with all eyes on the trophy, but also not looking past the matchup with No. 106-ranked Guatemala.
“We're not going into this game thinking we're going to play passive,” head coach Jesse Marsch told reporters on Saturday. “We're fit, we're strong, we're ready, and we're committed, and I'm excited for what that will mean for our performance.”
Led by highly-sought after striker Jonathan David and Inter Milan winger Tajon Buchanan, the Canadian group has their eyes on a first trophy in 25 years, and will look to continue their form after grabbing wins against El Savlador and Honduras in the group stage, along with a draw against Curaçao.
Here is’s guide to Canada's clash against Guatemala.
