When I see Canada and sport, I think ice hockey.......... The Canadians have become very good at basketball and could be genuine competition for the US in that sport but yes they are known for their ice hockey. There are a few Canadians in English leagues though. Scott Arfield and Junior Hoilett off the top of my head. It's a shame England, Wales and Scotland get overlooked. I think many on here would prefer England only but Celtic park and Millenium Stadium would be good venues to go along with the English ones. Though I would look forward to a World Cup in my home country. I think it would be much more appreciated there nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Sod North America - it should be held in England. It could mark the 60th anniversary of when we last held and won the damned thing. There are plenty of excellent stadiums - and we might even extend the Atyeo to get more capacity so that we could qualify to hold some matches. If they don't bring ut to the UK I refuse to buy tickets for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All England fans must provide evidence of parkour skills before purchasing tickets. It's the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but quite sure he plays for Canada. It's like most of the US team was born German and a few born English I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only defence is I'm from Weston and not a Bristolian, but I'm afraid I don't know that particular story or at least, I can't recall it from the thread title. I would certainly be interested in knowing more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
