Well the US probably won’t send anyone, we only have a decent slalom program

Welcome to the forum @mkaray

My predictions would suggest that

Oh!! In the US, we tell kids to shag the balls (which means retrieve them from outside or off the field) in youth sports. Apparently, and this is according to some visiting British football coaches, it has a very different meaning in the UK

I was paid off by the Saudi’s to predict them winning . In all honesty I made my predictions before I did my research, like a dummy. But I am gracious for the award, I like come from behind victories anyway

He’s telling us that we’re number 1

I feel like the majority of you probably most of our English slang when it comes to sports, but I’d be happy to share if you guys want me to

Saudi Arabia does not look great, pretty sure I’ve seen better youth soccer teams

Kickoff!

Just wanted to let you know that you used Greece’s flag for Greenland on the group B pool. Not that I’m that offended or anything, just don’t want it to discredit your work

No

I realize that white elephants are a concern, but I Morocco would’ve used the stadiums. I think part of the issue is the insane demands sports federations put on host cities. Huge stadiums are awesome, but not necessarily needed. I also think that joint bids aren’t a bad thing. I think the Olympics and other major events should work on a rotating system. Every Olympiad should be in a different continent, and the countries on that continent are responsible for figuring out a hosting plan, preferably shared between multiple countries, and continents should have the opportunity to skip an Olympiad if they feel unable to host it. But I do agree with many the points you make, especially concerning postering, and I like that LA is currently sports paradise.

But Qatar punches above its size, they have scores of oil money and western backing. However, they are still a small country and I’m glad to see them land the 2022 World Cup and 2019 World Athletics Championships

He’s “taking names”, but honestly we’re worst friends with Mexico and Canada currently

I really wanted Morocco to win, I hate smaller countries are basically blacklisted from hosting major sporting events. Morocco could have done it for sure, and if FIFA was really worried about scandals or controversy, then why did they give Russia the World Cup.

I have heard and read the opposite

No, I think people just don’t see them winning, but more likely getting 2nd, 3rd, or 4th

No one knows or talks about the games here in America, expect me of course

What about canoe?

Not if the vote goes my way

Sapporo here we come!!!

WellI made a good comeback from 24th to 15th, so I’ll take it

I would like to clarify that my vote for Iceland is my honest vote. However, I think the best chances lie with Germany, Brazil, Argentina; with Russia, Japan, Belgium as spoilers

Most of Oceanian nations are good at altitude too
