Soccer haters can say what they want, but this is the biggest sporting event in the world. Soccer has such a global reach. Literally millions of people who haven't heard of Calgary before will be exposed to the name. I for one would be beyond excited if Canada hosted.
My gut tells me the USA would host again before Canada does, but nevertheless this is a step in the right direction. As little as a few years ago, Canadian SA had no interest in bidding on the 2018 or 2022 editions.

Without grass fields in the major stadiums, the World Cup will never come here. Canada is a long shot as it is. Things have to be perfect for us to be considered.
