That could be because uhhh other nations don't rely on immigration as much as Canada. Canada prides itself on being multicultural, rather than making everybody Canadian, so what else do you expect, lol. |
Good point, it'll take geneartions I suppose to develope the notion as Canada being ones own primary identity. |

We have Pierre Trudeau to thank for a complete lack of National identity and pride. Multiculturalism has been a plague on this great country.
What a legacy!
VIVE LE CANADA!!!! |

Go for whatever team you like.
I like Italian soccer, I like Italy, so I go for Italy.
I like German soccer, they are hosting the tournament, so I cheer for Germany.
I dislike Brazilian soccer, style and players. So I dont go for Brazil.
I am from Canada, but Canada isn't in the world cup so I cant go for a team that is not playing.
simple. |

I am by background Italian, and actually have a Bi-citezenship (scary as I was almost ask to join the army) but my country image say's it all. Proud to be Canadian and would definately cheer for them.
And its sad why we dont make it. If any of you have seen the calibre of player we have at the 18-21 year level, it's baffling to try to understand wtf is going on at the CSA. The talent is here, we just dont know how to harness it and make it grow. Hopefully an MLS squad will bring new life to Canadian Soccer
I always ask my frineds why they dont cheer for Italy in the Wolrd Cup of Hockey :stongue: |

this is a problem with canada. who's really canadian?
i remember canada played jamaica here recently and there were more jamaican fans than canadian. that's pathetic. i came to this country 13 years ago and started playing soccer right away cuz i used to play in my home country and from what i've seen in the past 13 years is that canada hasn't much developed as a soccer nation. what do you expect when you show national spelling bee competitions over major soccer games in the world? good luck canada! |
Bwhahahaa!
So true...
Seriously, how do you expect sports like Soccer to develop and gain popularity in a country where Curling, Lacrosse and Poker get higher priority on TV...?
Wtf?!
Take care of that first, then come back and complain about lack of soccer coverage and its popularity... |

| Honestly, whoever decided that poker tournaments are an appropriate thing to show on sports channels should be shot in the face with a shotgun. |

Well what about when the two teams play each other, and one scores a goal? Do you go "YYEEEAAAA!" or "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!"? |
It depends if it was a "good" goal or a "bad" goal... ;) |

| Even though I identify myself as a Canadian, I'd still root for my country of origin. Its just one of those things. Plus, if I cheered for Canada, if they ever made it that is, with their mad skillz, I probably wouldn't be cheering for too many games. |

Russia:)
And then England and Czech.
Then teams from Eastern Block - Serbia, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria, etc etc.
After those MAY BE Canada. But probably for whoever would play well:) This country does not give a flying fuk about soccer, why would I cheer for it? :whip: |

Canada wont make the world cup because there is not enough support here. Why? because all the canadians are busy supporting foreign teams. Hence, the money is not there for canada and the talent ends up playing in europe. |
it has nothing to do with canadians supporting other teams... it has to do with lack of money in sport(in general) in canada. If we actually put some money into it and had a league(like we used to when we last made the world cup) the fans would come out!
I was born and raised here but i always cheer for the teams of my backround...I am 1st gen Canadian .
If we actually made the world cup id cheer for Canada |
