Why are Canadians so bad at soccer?

they're English and white French, so not really a surprise they suck at it
1. Not our main sport
2. Our players are not good enough to play for their parents countries
>expecting countries to be good at sports they don't specialize in
>Canashit
We're all big strong men, which doesn't really translate well to fagball

Cold-weather nations notoriously underperform in world soccer. Take Russia: soccer is very popular there, and they have a long history of success in international sport. Yet they're mediocre.
Sweden is the only exception I can think of.
They have better prospects than us atm and a revamped youth system. They'll be a conpetitor in concacaf soon if mehico and america don't get their shit together.

So why aren't you good at handegg or rugby? You're not even the best at hockey...
Snow on the ground 7 months a year
They cold as shit man. Mother fuckers be freezing while trying to train. Seem them try and practice corners and freeze to the corner flag waiting for people to get set up.
All their best athletes play something called "ice hockey"...I know sounds weird right
>trying to play football when it's -45 outside.
>No inside football field a la Iceland
>Canadians like pucks and sticks as well as bball
Pretty much sums it up desu
canadians literally suck at everything
there's little reason to play soccer
if your parents have money and care about sports you play hockey
our good black athletes play basketball, it's a way out for them, they can get ncaa scholarships if they're good enough
few local clubs to have good development, if mls let canadian players count towards quota it would help
fields are snow or mud november-april, baseball seems to take precedent on most fields from may-july

What is Russia?
it's hard to express how much of society is geared toward hockey here
calling it a national obsession would be understating it massively, it's just reality. even people who don't follow hockey and don't like the sport at all know about players, teams, results, etc. because it's just embedded in everything
