FIFA Under 20 World Cup comes to Canada in 2007
A little known fact about Soccer in the country that I live in is that it is hosting the U-20 FIFA World Cup, which is an incredibly big deal, next year during the month of July. Six cities will be hosting the games, including Ottawa, and FIFA started selling tournament passes this past Saturday. As much as I complained about the diving and lack of scoring in the just finished 2006 World Cup, I think it'll be a pretty cool event for Canada to host. Hopefully, the soccer fever that swooped the country will carry on to next year and we'll get a good turnout. The drawings for the teams have yet to be made so if you buy a pass now you won't know what teams you're getting, but still, if you look at the World Junior Hockey Championships those kids put on a clinic and you get your money's worth. I'm going to guess this trend also will include football.Anyway, an 8 game pass for Ottawa costs $105 or $125. Not a bad deal. We'll see if I get one.

The only problem is that only 3 of those 8 games happen on a weekend, so you'd have to take three days off to see all 8 games. Gotta factor that into the relative cost of the package.
We do get a quarter final match on a Sunday however. I think that's the game to go see!
Here's looking forward to July 2007.
