It's another to win a match at the World Cup.

It's another thing to put six on a team.

And it's another thing to have the inside track to win the division, to win the group.

Like, you have a chance to win the group?

Like, am I dreaming?

It's another thing to score a hat trick as well on home soil.

him.

It really was.

That touch to stop the ball on his hat trick goal, I mean, that ball came in with pace, and he stops it, turns, and absolutely rifles it past the Qatar keeper, and that's a type of high-end performance that's been missing from David.

Even going back this year, playing for Juve, he hasn't quite been at the level that we've seen, especially when he played in France when he was one of the top goal scorers in Europe.

That form had just not been there, even playing for Canada the last little while.

We're like, man, like, this guy's better than what he's shown, and the first match against Bosnia, he was really off it.

Like,

I thought the right call was made when Jesse March took him out of the game and brought on Kyle Lahren and brought on some other, Ali Ahmed and those players and they created more opportunities and ultimately were able to tie the match.

But to see him bounce back and to your point, show the resiliency he had and also the mental fortitude to not let this cascade down on you.

Like he rose to the challenge.

And to me, that is,

such a great sign.

And I'm just so proud of Canada, but also super excited for Jonathan David because missing Ishmael Kone is big.

Like he's one of Canada's, what, three best players?
