It would be embarrassing if the 3rd biggest city in Canada is not part of the Canadian bid to host the World Cup, simply because of inadequate facilities in one of the richest cities on the earth per capita.
You may not think that is embarrassing, but I do and I'm sure there is many out there that share the same sentiment.
