It's not surprising people tend to care about sport their country is succesfull at :p

 

Anyway, the sport is slowy dying :( Except for Portugal and Catalonia (and maybe San Juan), it's barely sruviving everywhere else and it's getting eatten by the poor man's ice hockey version - aka roller inline hockey.

 

That's my opinion as well :) 

 

Though I think the sport will probably allways survive here, as it takes a big part on the several sport's rivalries between the three big football teams fans (some people really take those rivalries too much serious.... and they end up ruining the sports with their agressive behaviour :thumbdown:), probably one of the most important for fans after football itsell and Futsal.

Would you say that Futsal is a more popular sport than 'Hoquei' nowadays ?

I would say is very tight: hockey has the advantage of having the three big football teams playing on our national hockey league (futsal only has Sporting and Benfica), but due to the increased rivalry between Sporting and Benfica on this past years, Futsal has gained a lot of tv ratings ( http://desporto.sapo.pt/futsal/artigo/2015/06/15/futsal-sporting-benfica-em-futsal-com-audiencias-recorde  sorry they don't have english version :wacko:).

 

So my opinion is that Futsal is more popular during national leagues (specially the final phase), but hockey is still more popular on Euro/Worlds (because the only team sport we can actually win something :lol:)

Not anymore ...

 

Anyway, that seems tight indeed.

 

 

Yes, you're right, I almost forgot! :clap: (fun thing to be a French remembering me of such fact :lol:)

Anyway, good luck for the Under-19 Euro's semi-final on football :)

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
