English Football 2017-2018 - Page 900 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I've watched the Bolt Dortmund training session. There's better players playing Sunday League. Main take is that he looked the least athletic person on the pitch.

Actually joejoe said he wanted City first than I did, so I guess it's fair that he gets it.

Is he the most successful player ever in terms of commercially? Possibly of any sport? That may be speaking for my arse as I have no clue but there can't be many sports men in his league - Roger Federer perhaps? Probably some random yank I've never heard of.

Random yank you've never heard of

Ye, Bolt isn't good enough to be a bench player in the Championship.

Tiger>Jordan.

No one outside of Murica cares about netball. Maybe some random euro country that doesn’t have a football team.

This is just stupid. Basketball is very popular in the majority of Europe, also in Asia and South America. It is far from American Eggball. It's surely the second team sport in the world after football. Easily ahead of rugby and cricket minus India because lol India.

Compared to football obviously no one cares about any sport in Europe. Maybe tennis.

And F1 I guess.

No one cares about Spanish netball. That's like using MLS attendance to cite football interest here. If you've done any bit of traveling you realize how popular tblitw netball is and how widespread it's brand is. I just got back from Brazil and saw a number of Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron jerseys (and weirdly a Larry Johnson hornets jersey) among others. Everyone has heard of Michael Jordan

Just because it's in the USA doesn't mean it only reaches the americans. There is a world beyond UK

It's also the sport with the most fans in China, population : 1.5 billion

but i guess because fat british blokes like to watch golf majors a few times a year, it's not as popular
