@EvertonArntWe_ Capital roaches crawling all over the game. Eventually there will be bans for swearing and chanting for the sake of tailoring the sport to an exclusive class.
@WestHaminVegas ๐คฃ hardly outrageous to suggest that a run of DR Congo, Mexico, and Norway is not too dissimilar than a run of C Verde, Egypt, and Switzerland is it ?
@Soonernator@JackMac I donโt think there is any group particularly to blame. Itโs just not a cultural institute the same way as it is elsewhere. If it was, then there is no doubt that you guys would compete.
@MeStevie@Dlabbr@49InARowe@JakerzBBN@ihatebbls But like you say I donโt think you guys are particularly bothered. Youโve got your sports and cultural institutes, others have their own.
@MeStevie@Dlabbr@49InARowe@JakerzBBN@ihatebbls Thatโs it really, until working class kids live and breathe the sport throughout the country you just donโt have a chance; other than hoping that dual nationals from footballing nations in Europe offshore some of their 2nd grade talent.
@MeStevie@Dlabbr@49InARowe@JakerzBBN@ihatebbls You arenโt seeing my point. Obviously you do, countries with slivers of your population have competed. But it wonโt be achieved until millions of kids to grow up kicking a ball against a wall for thousands and thousands of hours from the time they can walk. Not kids in the gym.
@MeStevie@49InARowe@JakerzBBN@ihatebbls The sports have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Hands vs FEET. You can be a phenom athlete, play football (soccer) your whole life, and still not have anywhere near the technical proficiency to be anything close to a professional player.
@SpecialPuppy1@ranteyy@Taldini_ I suppose the thing against Gretzky in comparison with Messi is that Messi is a hyper-anomaly in a sport with the largest talent pool on the planet.
@Forever_The_Dee Morris dancing and the ceilidh, pot and kettle. Anyhow, regardless to which side of the cultural coin happenstance has made you fall, if you havenโt realised what a sham it is to regard yourself as belonging to a national body, itโs about time you wake up.
