well that’s funny cuz I haven’t met any people with those backgrounds my
entire life (and there’s especially none of those groups in Quebec), except
for a few with english background.. btw a more recent census (June 8th 2012
from CIA.gov) states the following results -> British Isles origin 28%,
French origin 23%, other European 15%, Amerindian 2%, other, mostly Asian,
African, Arab 6%, mixed background 26%. as you can see french, other
european, and mixed (together) make up most of the pop.
Yes Canada we better do good in qualifiers
Its because of climate, many other countries you can do outdoor sorts, like
running, soccer, etc., all year round. In most of Canada, that is not
possible, at least not comfortably. Kids in school do indoor sports from
about November through April in much of the country. So, summer type sports
only for a month or two at the start of the school year, and perhaps two
months at the end. Meanwhile, the winter type sports can easily start in
October/November, and continue right through.
Hahah, yes! I hope the Canadians do manage to beat Mexico! One of my
friends is in the side (:
Actually if you look at Canada`s national hockey team its all guys born in
Canada, because we like hockey, you have to be honest Canada is pretty
garbage in soccer ranked like 77th in the world or something, if Canada had
the same passion for soccer as hockey no doubt we would be at least in the
top 15 at the minimum.
I agree that the US is very multicultural as well, but it is very different
from Canada. For example, about 40 percent of Canadians do not have British
or French (even though Quebec has its own French culture separate from the
‘English’ Canada) roots and most of them keep their cultures alive. In
America, immigrants (first, second and third generations) are more likely
to become Americanized and become integrated in American culture instead of
keeping (most or all of) their old culture.
Well done Canadian Players!
and i still have family in italy and speak italian, been there a few times
and love it. there’s even actual schools in canada in french, italian, and
other languages (and i mean full-blown schools – most of them are either
english or french but ive even been to a school in italian for a year since
i speak the language fluently). im just trying to show you all that canada
is one of the most multicultural and open countries in the world and I love
it because of its diversity
Karma for the Gold Cup rip-off against Canada a few years ago and we didn’t
need the ref to do it for us either. Nice to see my ‘bro’ Steve Hart on the
bench for this as he was the Canadian coach against the USA when Canada was
cheated of a tying goal against the USA in the semi-final….in the USA!
Right on Big Red…..take it to the bank. Talk soon Hartie…….
I feel the reason soccer is so unpopular in Canada is that it’s ‘similar’
to the sport of soccer… same idea, moving forward, passing, goalie, etc.,
the main thing the total difference in the people playing it, when a guy
gets hurt in hockey, and I mean HURT, knocked out teeth, cuts, bruising,
they pop back up and continue, if someone mistreats a team mate, you
stickup for them, soccer? the complete difference, guys rolling around in
‘pain’ etc., it’s just so very UN-Canadian (sports-wise).
I knew Canada had good youngsters. I just knew it all along! Thumbs up for
the girl celebrating at 1:40 she’s awsome lol
Lol USA only good at sports no other country plays there too fat for sports
anyway lol
and the us chokes again… guess they cant soccer under pressure as well as
hockey.to bad lotta talent
well if you think about it we have MLS teams like TorontoFC

Irish roots.
