Kicking off the World Cup

from This Matters Hosted by Toronto Star

Guest: Bruce Arthur, sports columnist World Cup fever is hot! So is Qatar. Sweltering temperatures and how the authorities plan to treat exuberant, international football fans are two of the big questions as this tiny nation prepares to welcome soccer fans from all over the world. This World Cup has been controversial since it was awarded in 2010, and only remains so as it gets underway. It is extra special for Canadian fans as it is the first time since 1986 that the Canadian men's team has qualified. Is this the beginning of an international football renaissance for our squad? This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Sean Pattendon and Raju Mudhar.
