Canada went on a nice run at the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but the end of their journey was once again a little bit disappointing. Last night’s 2-1 quarter-final loss to Jamaica was a letdown in the sense that it was a winnable game.
After conceding early, Canada controlled the play for most of the match, pinning the Jamaicans back into their own half. Defensive lapses, poor finishing and world-class goalkeeping from Andre Blake cost Canada what would have been a huge victory.
In that sense, the sting of what could have been will linger for a little while with this group.
