Goalscoring Issues have the Potential to Sink Canadian World Cup Qualifying Hopes

If Canada want to move on to the next round of World Cup qualifying, they will need to fix their goalscoring woes and quickly.

Following a solid start in World Cup Qualifying, Canada was in a comfortable position securing 4 points from 2 matches. This was despite scoring only one goal in those games as they were able to keep two clean sheets. However, a pair of matches against CONCACAF giants Mexico exposed Canada's weaknesses and they were thumped in a 3-0 loss at home followed by a 2-0 loss in Mexico. While Canada is still certainly alive in this World Cup campaign, the reason for concern is not in the standings, but the fact that the team simply cannot score.
