Lille striker Jonathan David says Canada will grow from World Cup campaign

Lille striker Jonathan David says Canada will grow from their World Cup campaign.

The Maple Leafs only scored two goals in Qatar - one own goal - but won a legion of new fans with their fearless style.

They will host the 2026 tournament along with the United States and Mexico.

After losing 2-1 to Morocco on Thursday, David added: “Any player who plays at the World Cup, no matter what the outcome, you become a better player, you learn from it, and it helps you grow,"

“The future is bright, despite the three losses.

“There are some good things we take and learn from to try and do better in the future.

“What makes the difference at the highest level is the smallest things, not finishing our chances and not holding onto scorelines."
