Has the FIFA World Cup ever been held in Canada?

Answer 1

It wasn't big sporting news, nor was the Canadian soccer world shocked, when Canada failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. After all it has been 24 years since that country managed it's only appearance in the World Cup, in Mexico in 1986, so expectations weren't as high as a goalie Pat Onstad downfield kick.

But Canadian soccer fans were nonetheless disappointed when Canada lost 2-1 to Mexico on Sept. 10, 2008 ending any chance of making it to South Africa (they finished with a 2-2-4 qualifying record with a goal differential of 13-14). And while it is a country that places a greater weight on hockey, the number of kids registered for soccer is closing in on the million mark, some 400,000 more than for ice-hockey.

The Canadian Soccer Association and those involved with the Canadian men's team continue to work on improving the side and are hardly throwing in the towel for 2014 in Brazil. On the contrary, they feel they can do it.
