The only FIFA World Cup ready stadiums we have are BC Place (when they add grass) and maybe the new stadium in Winnipeg if they expand it to 45,000. Rogers, Commonwealth and Olympic would have to under go major renovations. The United States, China, Australia, England and a host of other countries already have stadiums ready for the World Cup. Let's face it, we got the women's World Cup because no one else wanted it. On a scale of 1 to 100, the women's world cup ranks about a 10 in world events. The men's world cup is a 100+++. Still we can always dream on spending our $$$ BILLIONS for a Toronto Summer Olympics.

To play devil's advocate, the only reason Brazil is hosting the 2014 WC is because no other countries put forth finalized bids too.
