'Nowhere near where I want to be' - Why Tajon Buchanan will be Canada's next superstar

 The 22-year-old winger is ready for bigger things after truly breaking out for both club and country in 2021


It's not often that a player can truly capture your imagination with what will technically be counted as a miss.


Picture this: it's the 54th minute of Canada's World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica, a match that is pivotal to the former's World Cup qualifying hopes. It's been nearly 40 years since Canada played in their first and only World Cup and a win would put them one step closer to what will be a culture-changing moment.


With the score tied 0-0, Tajon Buchanan nearly does the impossible. A shot is blocked high into the air and comes down right on top of the 22-year-old winger. He takes a second, leaps up and unleashes a picturesque bicycle-kick, floating as his left-footed missile nearly destroys the crossbar.
