The new football season kicked off at the weekend in England. The big boys of the Premier League kick off this weekend. I've been having withdrawal symptoms.
How did England do in the World Cup again...
There's always next time!
The president of FIFA wants Canada to submit a world cup bid, which means Canada would get a team into teh tournamnet. Probably the only way that's going to happen.
Lots of big money in the World Cup, but the corruption is pretty hard to stomach.
That's probably the only way Canada will get into the World Cup in my lifetime.
I don't know how it would work as it would have to happen in the summer and I don't see the CFL closing up shop for a month - and without those big stadiums, I don't see how we could host it.
Even if that was figured out, I doubt there would be willingness to spend tens or even hundreds of millions on hosting it (like putting in real grass in all the stadiums and then removing it afterwards) - there simply isn't enough broad-based support for soccer in Canada.
If they could get it to happen I'd support the Canadian team. As I've always said, I don't care who plays (nevermind wins) if Canada isn't there.
The one positive would be that Canada might get some cool infrastructure spending (more LRTs, new stadiums, etc) if we did host it, as well as maybe the possibility that soccer might establish itself and help us qualify farther down the road.
