Jen - Interesting about Canada being able to draw huge Italian crowds. I saw Parma play a pre-season game in Toronto once and the crowd was definitely big. Wolfy – Thanks for the clarification.

I suspect the same thing could happen in Canada, if they were playing against a team from a country with a sizable ethnic group in the area. For example, Toronto supposedly has the biggest Italian population outside of Italy; if the Italian team played the Canadians here...well, first of all, the Canadians would lose, and lose badly, but secondly I suspect their fans would be totally outnumbered. “The fact that Mexico can consistently draw huge crowds when playing in the US got me wondering if there are other countries that can do the same?”

Just a little clarification. The Peruvian team won only one game in the FINAL round. They did finish the preliminary group play with 2 wins (incl. a 2:1 over Brazil!), one tie and one loss in order to qualify for the final round consisting of 6 teams.
