as far as I remember, also Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia have always had only white and/or "native" people.

 

I don't know if iot's true for the entire population, but in sports I just can't remember a single local born (naturalized Cubans don't count, hello Yasmani Acosta :p) black player/athlete in their teams.

 

but I might be wrong...tou know, I'm thousend miles away...

I know a Black chilean, Jean Beausejour.

 

I cant remember any black Paraguaian, bolivian or argentine person (i mean real Black, not "morochos" as they sair on the article)

 

Equador is one of the countries with less black populatio in South American and their NT is the one with more black players outside an african country

They're still searching for Harry Kane's PK 

What were the odds that his penalty would land in France of all places?

According to Wikipedia there are only roughly 150k afro-argentines, which is a tiny fraction of the total population. Not sure why argentina should have more black players ...

Even :SVK had a black player, and I can probably count the amount of black slovak citizens on my two hands so to say :lol:

 

I remember the guy, was decent, played long years for Freiburg.

 

Togolese father, Slovak mom, born in Germany, Almost made the German NT for the 2006 WC but after he was refused, I donot know how but suddenly appeared in Slovak NT :p He played 14 matches for us with 0 goals scored, but he was a classical 6 of the team, so the goals were not exactly his job though

1) There are also black people in Argentina ...

2) Colombia and Brazil have far more visible black populations than pretty much all other southern american countries, but of course that has to do with the history of the slave trade. According to Wikipedia Brazil has the biggest "african diaspora" with 14.5 million, followed by Colombia with 4.6 million, Ecuador with 1.1 million, Venezuela with 1 million and Peru with 800k.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
