Nah, both America and Canada do not love soccer. It is popular because it is one of the first teams sports in existence and it was spread by the British empire around the world. It is a super easy sport for poor people to play hence also why it is popular in most poor places. Hockey is much younger and is one of the most expensive sports to play period. It is also not an ideal sport at all for warm climates. So this takes away a huge chunck of the world.
Soccer is the most boring team sport to watch and I watch a lot of them. It lacks action, it lacks scoring, it lacks physical contact, and the players are like toothpicks. Not anywhere close to the strong athletes in most American sports. There is more diving in soccer than any other sport. It just plain is only worth watching if it is team USA.
