ninersdd Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just a thought, why not let Canada host the next Gold Cup?It's my wish to have it!You'd just have to delay, the CFL season by a week or two.Not necessarily. You could get away with six stadia, right? So Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, and Ottawa. And you just schedule around the CFL games.Could a World Cup in the Great White North be feasible down the line?

TFoA Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Not a great performance but they got the job done.The finishing was a hot mess, especially from Dempsey. Dempsey could've had a hat trick tonight, and it's a miracle that he didn't even get one. That being said, I'm not complaining. Job done, they're through to the quarters. Can't pull this crap against Jamaica, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(After all, if Qatar can get one, then Canada should as well)I keep pondering it but I just can't see it happening. Not enough quality FIFA stadia, not a single 70,000 seat venue and all the CFL stadiums are under 40K outside of Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto. Airports really only Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal and possibly Ottawa could harbor the amount of people that would travel here.I'd love it, but it's just not in the question right now. I'd be just fine with the US hosting it and they could if the Qatar BS isn't figured out. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well for a potential World Cup in Canada, you could end up having a set-up similar to this...-New Stadium in Toronto either for Bills or for WC2026 (~80,000)-Olympic Stadium in Montreal (66,000)-Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton (60,000)-Mosaic Stadium in Regina (55,000 with temporary seating like during Grey Cup)-BC Place in Vancouver (54,500)-Rogers Centre in Toronto as second GTA stadium (54,000)-McMahon Stadium in Calgary (46,000 with temporary seating)-Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton (43,000 with temporary seating)-New Bombers Stadium in Winnipeg (40,000 with temporary seating)-Rebuilt Frank Clair Stadium in Ottawa (~40,000 in some way probably)^That's 10 of the 12 host sites I think you can get to for Canada. They'd probably have to look into building stadiums in some combination of Halifax, Quebec City, London, Kitchener, Windsor, or Victoria, and obviously infrastructure (relating to airports, hotels, VIArail, etc.) would have to be made, but if the Canadian government really wanted to do it, I think they could.

Figures that they'd convert the toughest opportunity they had to score yet miss a couple of sitters. Donovan missed one right on the doorstep as well. Just an odd night.

Just an odd night.Donovan hasnt been himself at all in this tournament yet. I guess it bodes well that our best players havent been that but yet we still had a shot at winning the group. Hopefully theyre just coasting until the knock out round in which theyll turn it on. I hope so.
