| okr said: So according to this picture the inhabitants of Switzerland and Austria have more passion for football than, say, the people from Argentina and Brazil? Thanks for the undeniable proof, draik. I was such a fool. I'm running out of ideas, you guys have enlightened me with your persuasive argumentation: The USA doesn't deserve to host another football world cup because some of you think the country does not show enough passion for the sport and because some others of you think they use the forbidden word to name it. Now go, convince Sepp Blatter. Don't forget your wallets.  |
No, okr, you're not reading the map properly. In different shades of green are countries that have football as the no.1 sport and in shades of "red" (dunno what color it is) the countries that don't. Now, the shades of green measure how much players are there per habitant, it has nothing to do with passion. Now, I think that every green country fills the "passion" requirement, of course there are a lot of countries that don't fill the economic part, that's another story.
And of course, what we say has nothing to do with the Fifa. I can think what I want and I'm sure the FIFA will do other things. That doesn't change the fact that I don't want a WC hosted in the US (or Canada, or China, or N.Korea, for that matter)
