Canada is currently playing host to the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup of soccer and will hold the FIFA Women's World Cup next year. The nation has seen its fair share of sporting events but is the only G8 country that has not hosted a men's world cup. When it comes to enthusiasm for the sport, British Columbians were not shy about donning their favourite team colours for the 2014 World Cup, and BC Soccer is the third largest provincial sport organization in Canada. Should Canada take on another large-scale sporting event? Have your say at nsnews.com.- Anne Watson

Walter Katzberg North Vancouver "Yes. I think soccer is an upcoming sport here and it would really bring it into the limelight."

Elias Louzi North Vancouver "Absolutely. Canada's a great country to host it."

Stoian Natchev New Westminster "It would be fun to have it here. After the Winter Olympics, soccer would be nothing."

Jim Roberts North Vancouver "That would be great. Soccer maybe historically is not seen as a Canadian sport, but it's growing in popularity."

Jim Wood Coquitlam "Why not, it would get us into the world organization."
