I have one question for hoser, how that that you love and watch football in Canada , Canadians most like hockey and winter sports, right?
Hi Dani_ZG,
Yeah, I guess that is the stereotype. Vancouver is hosting the Winter Olympics in 2010, so yeah, Canadians do like winter sports. I don't mind hockey, but I guess it is seen as Canada's sport, though officially lacrosse is supposed to be THE sport of Canada. It's sort of like hockey, but played with a stick with a little net, played during the summer, and with an incredibly hard ball. You don't want to get hit in the nuts with a lacrosse ball, it's really painful. Most Canadians, it is true, like hockey, with either the Montreal Canadiens or Toronto Maple Leafs being the most loved/hated teams. I'm from Toronto, but, I don't really care for the Maple Leafs. Ice skating outside is kind of nice, even nicer with a girl you really like. But, it's not always a winter wonderland, as we do have a summer with some Summer sports, such as football, Basketball, and baseball. Current NBA MVP Steve Nash of the Suns is a Canadian, so we can like non-Winter sports.
I've liked football since about the 94 world cup, though that World Cup was kind of boring. Zzzz...... penatly shootout to decide Brazil wins. I don't have any memories of Canada's last time playing in the World Cup, Mexico 86, because I didn't have any interest and was too young. Don't get me started on why Canada sucks. Other than that, I'm not sure I could explain why I like football?
Also, I'm currently in Belgium studying, and I get a chance to watch Valencia play whenever Skysports picks up the feed. So that really helps.
