It wasn't really a lack of chances.

It was more putting the ball in the back of the net that was the issue.

So Jesse Marsh has got a big decision there in terms of what striker he obviously goes with or strikers.

in this game against Qatar.

And then that will continue to be the challenge for them is just how do they attack?

How do they break teams down?

What ideas do they have in the final thirds?

This is a team that's very good, I think, playing against the ball and is difficult to score against.

certainly from open play.

It's when they get the ball and when they have a large share of the ball, which I think you can expect against Qatar, that they tend to struggle a little bit.

And that will be the big challenge for them, even against a team that I do think is still one of the weaker ones in the tournament, despite that very impressive first point they got.

Yeah, I would.

I still think that would be a big shock if he did that.

Clearly, Jonathan David is not in top form right now.

I don't think it's too early or an overreaction to conclude that because this is something that's been going on for nearly a year now with Canada, since the end of last summer, really.

He's struggled to score from open play, as has the team as a whole.

You know, three goals, two penalties and one from a header from a free kick since the Gold Cup last summer.

So that's an issue.

I still think he's a player of the quality that you have to give him a chance to play his way back into it.

Qatar could, again, be a very good opportunity to do that.
