Cricket got a boost the rugby team lost the WC final :lol:

 

Polish awards will be announced on January 4th. Stoch & R. Lewandowski are basically locked into Top 3 IMO.

 

naaa...Cricket is still the biggest English sport (after Football)...even if the rugby team had won the RWC, it wouldn't have changed the rankings that much...

Hmm... I know a guy from Newcastle who claims nobody gives a rat's ass about cricket. I'd say rugby is more popular than cricket in the UK :p

really? :yikes:

 

so, you missed one of last summer's main events in the world of sports...:redcard::spank:

 

In the Commonwealth world of sports and a handful of diehard fans outside of it, I suppose :p  I'm sure in most nations in the world it wouldn't even make an annual 'International sports highlights of 2019' video if they had it.

maybe you're right, but except for Football and Athletics, we can say the same for almost every other sport...:evil:

 

look at rugby...it's only about France, Argentina and the Commonwealth Nations...but still, the RWC is considered one of the biggest sports events in the world...

 

the same goes for Handball, for instance...who gives it a crap outside north/central/eastern Europe?

 

and I could go on for the rest of the day...

me too...

 

and frankly I only agree at 100% on the "team of the year" and the "most improved athlete of the year" result...

 

but as we don't have an official sports award, this is still one of the most reliable among all those we can see all around in these days...

 

p.s. of course I also like the special mention for Sinisa Mihajlovic and I wish him and his family all the best (as I know exactly what kind of drama they're going through and I'm particularly sensitive on that issue), but this has not much to do with sports (except for Sinisa being a famous former player and now a successful coach)...;)

by the way, here are my absolutely personal picks for the Italian Sports Awards...

 

Man of the Year: Dominik Paris (Alpine Skiing) & Elia Viviani (Cycling) ex-aequo

 

Woman of the Year: Dorothea Wierer (Biathlon)

 

Team of the Year: "Settebello" (Men's Waterpolo National Team)

 

Coach of the Year: Stefano Morini, Matteo Giunta & Christian Minotti (Swimming); Alessandro Campagna (Waterpolo) ex-aequo

 

Most Promising Athlete: Jannik Sinner (Tennis)

 

Most Improved Athlete of the Year: Matteo Berrettini (Tennis)

 

No mention for Paralympic Sports nor E-Sports as I don't follow them at all...

I'd even put  ' Football ' and 'Athletics ' in inverted commas. All countries have their own sport preferences.

In fact each state of India has a different view for all sports. If you say that England won the cricket world cup, people won't even like care in states like manipur ( football, wushu, karate, judo, even weightlifting is more popular than cricket)  and so many north east sides(Arunchal Pradesh, Sikkim just like Bhutan)  that the media will only report it as a normal news and then you go to Andaman and Nicobar Islands you would be asked what is cricket unless you went to mainland as cycling and canoeing are way tooo popular. Athletics isnt considered a sport in many states but entering Kerala it's pretty common to be an sprinter or jumper. Then there are states like Gujarat and all where football is known to very small rural population. My friend's once laughed when I watching some squash but in Tamil Nadu you'll find them keen to learn as its pretty popular. Carolina Marin, Tai Tzu Ying are all very famous in Telangana just because the state follows badminton very much. Even in my state if I say Mohmad Ahsan or Wang Yilu they surely differentiate their events easily if not all at least a sizeable number. Not to forget the wrestling craze of UP and especially Haryana where thousands flock to watch the bouts .

 

So what happens is media reports important news only when it's famous or popular  so there's regional prefernces  across the world.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
