Hockey may be the undisputed king of Canadian sports, but soccer will be the sport in the spotlight for the next few weeks as the FIFA Under-20 World Cup comes to Canada. The 24-team event will be held June 30 through July 20 in six cities throughout Canada. Even though all 52 matches will be televised, a record breaking 1 million plus tickets are expected to sell. While I would never suggest that soccer could replace hockey, curling or any other winter sport in the hearts of Canadians, could it become the summer sport of choice?
