Best ever!Canadians are at the podium in trampoline
well Irak used to be ranked 39th with the war it went down to 119th just above Canada. It is really sad that our National Soccer Program is the equivalent of the one of a nation fighting a civil war with ISIS.Irak...
It is not a matter of surpassing hockey. For example, lets look at the situation of Canadian or Georgian or Argentinean rugby. All these nations do not have a the same fan base like hockey in Canada (relative), yet all these three countries have respectable rugby teams by world standards.As much as we all want Canada to be a successful soccer nation, are we really a "soccer country". Yes the women have had success but we're a hockey country. Our schools, leagues, training everything is focused on hockey. We have soccer programs but no where near what hockey has. The US is football country. One of the highest paying jobs in the US, is a university football coach. I'd love to see us get there, but soccer in this country will never surpass hockey.
Point of fact. Canada is ranked in the 18th percentile when it comes to rugby. Canada is ranked around 60th percentile when it comes to soccer. There are nations with amateur teams who do well.Canada is NOT a respectable rugby team by world standards. So few teams playing the sport internationally compared to soccer (same goes for trampoline ya weirdo). We used to be when rugby was strictly an amateur sports (ranked around #8-10 in the world). Once pro leagues formed the great divide happened. This is when Argentina became strong.
