Women's National Team Game in Ottawa Proves Soccer is Growing Across Canada

James Hutton reflects on his recent trip to the Capital to watch the Canadian women's national team triumph against Brazil.

I'm beginning to find that supporting soccer, Canada or otherwise, is like a good dish. Satisfying to the end and made a little differently in each region you try it. This was no different this week when I was in Ottawa to take in the CanWNT's second tune-up game against Brazil. The first game, an uninspiring 2-0 loss in Toronto went as typical friendlies do. No particular consequences, general post game statements about missed opportunities, and another standing ovation for the perpetually popular women's team.
