After the excitement of the first Canada game in Vancouver I decided I would attempt to replicate that feeling by trying to attend the second Canada game. This game was at noon so I had to cut out of work during the day but my meetings allowed it and I'm sure I'll make up the time. This time I decided I would attempt to find the Canada March to the Match. After a bit of research I realized it was different than the New Zealand game and I was a bit disappointed at how it was organized. It started only a few blocks away from Science World so it was less of a march and more of a group gathering.
I think if they had started at Jack Poole Plaza it would have been more of a formal march and having all those fans walking down Georgia Street would have been an amazing sight. After the 'gathering' I headed towards Jack Poole Plaza again. Due to security fences I got to walk around False Creek by the Plaza of Nations and through Yaletown. This is another wonderful area of Vancouver that would be a great place to retire though I wouldn't be able to have a shop so maybe not. The game didn't go as well for Canada losing 2-1 to Switzerland but we still made it to the knockout round for the first time ever. Go Canada!
