Most of Europe has a similar climate to the regions in Canada where 90% of the population resides.

Germany, Poland, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Serbia, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine are all countries with a similar climate to Southern Canada and with a strong support of Soccer (much stronger than Canada at least)

I'd kill if we could have the mentality of France or Italy. Those are examples of REAL sporting countries.
