Tennis, badminton, football, rugby, cricket etcPossibly they are a world leader I’m polo but I wouldn’t bet om it 🤔Sure but this is similar to what I mentioned to @Malcador England invented football but they havent won in 60 years This seems like the perfect time to get behind England in this WC, I can count on your support Gorthfuscious?🥳🥳 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

It creates more global excitement and interest and it becomes more inclusiveIt allows a team like Cucacoa to qualify and they have never played on the global WC stage. And as I mentioned previously they had to still qualify in there region which requires skill and commitmentI understand the criticism but I think the positive outweighs the negative?Well certainly it works in the US where every team has its own immigrant support community, even Iran. But I'm not sure how well it will work out in terms of television audiences. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
14 hours ago14 hr I get the impression that the European teams are having difficulty with the heat. Teams from near equatorial regions seem to operate at a much higher pace thus far. France, for example, seems to be moving sluggishly and is having trouble with the team speed from Senegal. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

I was a bit of a fan when Klopp managed them because their games were always interesting whether winning or losing 😝Edit under Slot they went from heavy metal football to snooze ball and I lost interest 😞 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

3 hours ago3 hr I had to post this, despite how the fan was honest he couldn't speak English I thought it as brilliant. He made his point fine and it was easy to understand the overall sentiment and support for Japan Its an example of the global reach of the WC.
