Popular sports
for the off-topic haters, i'm sorry for this one.

i want to know which are the mainstream sports in your country, and how good are you at.

here in brazil, as you know, football is the most popular by far, but mma (ufc) is growing really fast.

that's because we support only sports which* brazil is good at - and i want, with this topic, check if the same happens around the world.

Seriously, many people tried to troll me without any success, but you are the worst, you have no talent.

As I already suggested you in another thread try this:

It also has a CD and you may improve your English.
There is no need to thank me.

2012-08-06 16:34:36
It's not as famous as football ofc, but still very played and followed (mostly north Italy).

2012-08-08 18:28:17
im not going mad about that, and you can actually write "realise" too, so you failed :)
2012-08-08 19:21:45
Realize is correct in American English, not in British English maybe.

Anyway you did some grammar errors again, I don't even know why I'm here talking with you...
2012-08-09 00:49:45
You made some* grammatical* errors again.
2012-08-09 02:00:33
"Grammar is the set of structural rules that govern the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language."

Wikipedia.


"Anyway you did some..."
It's correct.

"You did some grammar errors again", isn't a correct sentence. It should be, "You made some grammatical errors again"

I'm not saying grammar isn't a word, you've just used it in the wrong clause.

Trust me, you were also wrong.

2012-08-09 03:10:20
From now I'll use "grammatical" then :)
2012-08-09 03:16:03
You have to use it at the right time. For example you can say, "That person has bad grammar!", but you can't say, "That person has bad grammatical!".

To change it around you could say, "Your statement is grammatically correct.", but you can't say, "Your statement is grammar correct".

Both words are right but you have to use them correctly and in the right context.
2012-08-09 03:19:12
Oh, I didn't know about that, I'm just 16 and Italian schools don't have good English lessons , they are just ridiculous. I've learned English thanks to movies, Internet and videogames...


Big thanks for your English Lesson Mr.Harker.

2012-08-09 17:37:21
It's "realise" in English. "Realize" is an Americanisation.

2012-08-08 19:27:20
I learned English thanks to Holywood.
2012-08-09 00:48:10
Well, "thanks" is probably the wrong word to use ;)
2012-08-09 00:57:37
I've mistaken Hollywood*
Anyway, it's correct to use "thanks"(I even search on the Internet, lol), we are not at Oxford or Cambridge here and in daily language it's correct.
2012-08-09 03:06:07
Yeah, that was pretty much my point. The purpose of language is communication. As long as we all understand each other there is no need for twatty comments.

And what do you mean by "thanks." FYI the Americans don't say "thankz."
2012-08-09 03:11:06
And also you mean "misspelt" not "mistaken."
2012-08-09 03:11:53
I'm not talking, I'm writing...
2012-08-09 03:14:38
So stop "correcting" other peoples' "mistakes?"

#120 is right, you're just a fucking idiot.
2012-08-09 03:22:27
I don't think I'm the idiot here, the thread title is "Popular Sports", you guys came here (big thanks to Spurz, my NO.1 hater, sadly I don't see zeTMan around here) flaming on me and going #Off-Topic. I'm mature enough even if I'm young to accept my mistakes.

I won't reply you with an insult, because I don't want to get down to your level.

Post edited 2012-08-09 03:30:04
2012-08-09 03:28:14
But you are the idiot here. People responded to you and all you did was attempt to correct their English. Which you failed at. Now that is pathetic.

Anyway, my advice to you would be to shut up and go to bed now. Pretty much everyone will have forgotten about this tomorrow :)
2012-08-09 03:34:22
Read the conversation between Spurz and me, I guess you didn't read. Portuguese trying to tell me I don't know shit about the country where I leave. Then the Polish sport-teacher comes, then the fantastic Finland guy who paste an overused sentence, my only mistake was to respond him in the same way.

You guys wanted to go off-topic, so I'm not the idiot here.


Oh, I forgot about the Belgium and German sport-teacher and about this guy here with a Japan fake flag that created a new account just for me...


It's just ridiculous, if I say basket it's the most famous after football here, there is a reason. I think I know much more things about Italy since I live here than most of you, isn't it?

2012-08-09 03:39:22
I did read the entire thing. Honestly, I'm not taking any sides here, but you're the one who came across as a total twat. Don't try to "correct" other peoples' English when you get it wrong yourself. And your posts are full of spelling / grammar mistakes anyway.

I suggest that you reread the convo because it's you who's coming off as a tit.
2012-08-09 03:48:14
Quote myself

"Basket it's also a famous sport here.
Think for your country."

Spurz
"but italy sucks at basket LOL"-flaming incoming.

The Polish sport-teacher
"Basket famous in Italy ? pls man."

Just a few examples, anyway, I don't want you do defend me, I explained this sport it's famous here, smart guys started flaming on me, I repeat it once again, they started to flame on me with no reason, the only mistake I make was replying them in the same way instead of ignore like I almost always do.

As I said I don't need you to take my side.
I explained everything a lot of times, this will be my last reply to you, you just make me lose time.


PS: Often who starts to insult (you) flaming (others)demonstrate that they can't have a normal conversation.

2012-08-09 03:59:32
I never took your side - if anything, it was the contrary.

Anyway, I don't give a fuck about basketball in Italy. All I'm saying is that you attempted to correct peoples' English while getting it wrong yourself. That's twatty.
2012-08-09 04:23:08
"the country where I _leave_" ? :O
2012-08-09 17:39:33
You don't give an image 'about' yourself, it should rather be image 'of' yourself. You better get a CD for yourself, Mr. English.

I'm Romanian.
So...go ahead...what you wanted to say?
2012-08-08 19:42:03
SO if you're romanian (gypsy fakeflagging) why you say that basketball is famous in Italy as you actually knew it better than, for example, shotterr and italian that replied to you denying your false sentence?
2012-08-09 00:48:04
"SO if you're romanian (gypsy fakeflagging)"

First of all, I'm not a gypsy, second I moved to Italy long time ago and I have nothing to do with Romania now.

Anyway that sentence demonstrates the level of your culture and intelligence.

About Shooter or whatever his nick-name is.
He is saying football because he is a soccerfag like most of people here from 10 to 50 years old, so that is the only sport he knows.

I'm not saying that football is not popular, it's the most popular sport here but second it's basket, not volleyball, golf or any else sport.

I hope I was clear enough for you and for the future "smart trolls" here.
2012-08-09 00:57:40
you said you're romanian and you don't have nothing to do with Romania now? lol

But how can you be so sure that basket is the n2 sport?
2012-08-09 01:00:37
1) I was born in Romania, this makes me Romanian.
(Please, I don't want to make this turn into Shao's biography)
2) Because TV first of all transmits Football (obvious that most of the population watch it), the most followed, second it's Basket, as third I will put handball or volleyball, but handball it's followed mostly in center Italy and handball in north-center.

Football and Basket are followed in all Italy.

"(Please, I don't want to make this turn into Shao's biography)"

It seems like you don't like reading and you like typing random words.


I explained everything clearly, if you want to understand ok, if not, I don't care, you came here acting like a "PRO Troller" but you know only give one sentence reply, if I would be in you, I wouldn't even reply.


I hope you have a good day/night.
2012-08-09 01:11:22
lol dude why you contradict yourself? 1st you say you're from Romania, then you say you don't have anything to do with it.
2012-08-10 13:59:42
You have comprehension problems, dude.
2012-08-10 23:19:33
Ofcourse I have. Try not to avoid a conversation and don't contradict yourself. ;)
2012-08-11 00:18:24
"Ofcourse I have"

Said all, it's pointless keep talking with you.

I am Romanian, I live in Italy, moved from Romania years ago, I don't go back there anymore, I don't care about that country. aka I have nothing to do with that country anymore.


You understand?

I'm right, you are wrong, get mad.
Bye

This is my last reply.

Are you looking forward to seeing Jonas Valan&#269;i&#363;nas in the NBA ?
2012-08-09 01:26:08
I don't expect him being that good in his Rookie season, like many people outside his country would say. But yeah, i'm willing to see him playing alongside with his countrymen Linas Kleiza.
Also another upcoming star Donatas Motiejunas will play in NBA. I think he will have the same stats like Valanciunas, if he will have a proper role in Rockets team.

skiing is the national sport. football, skiing, floorball(mostly guys) and handball(mostly girls) are probably the biggest sports. furthermore, snowboarding is popular, although many consider it more of an activity than a sport. hockey is kind of on a rise, and golf is played by relatively many.

the biggest spectator sports are probably football, winter sports(alpine skiing, ordinary skiing, ski jumping etc) and handball whenever our women's team is in some final which basically no one outside of this country gives a shit about.

Wondering what gaelic football is? (I really liked it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAbWrdB9XU

Aaccording to these maps, the doubts are: Australia, Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia, China, Cambodja, Laos, Buthan, Nepal, Afghanistan, UAE... the rest looks pretty accurate, according to what people are saying here and looking at the maps.
2012-08-06 21:18:12
Gaelic football really looks interesting. Basically everything is allowed?
2012-08-08 16:14:39
Yeah looks like a mix of football, american football and handball! Crazy!

Living in Germany:
1. Football (we really are not that bad at it anymore).
2. Handball (Best League in the world but not the best players).
3. Tennis (I guess, Ladies getting better and better, lads suck).
4. Icehockey(Although we really suck at it).
5. Volleyball (Probably, Grozer and Popp rock!!)
6. Hockey (really good, women and men).
7. Riding (most dominant over a decade now, exept for these olympic games).
2012-08-08 16:12:34
but is riding popular or they are just good at it?
2012-08-08 16:25:21
Well, I don't like it and I find it actually pretty boring but due to the success I guess especially elder people keep following it.
2012-08-08 16:38:00
haha yeah that's why i asked, looks so boring to me :D
2012-08-08 16:39:44
Boring as shit... but shit with a lot of elegance and amenity :D
2012-08-08 16:59:36
Hockey and ice hockey are far from being popular sports in Germany. For a statistic based on facts check #127.
2012-08-08 19:03:47
Source?
2012-08-08 19:26:19
There are different sources, just google for favourite German sports and numbers.
2012-08-08 20:34:27
ty for that but i think you based more on number of player, while voltaire was focused on media
2012-08-08 22:37:28
Yeah true, actually football is the only sport here which is in the focus of the "mainstream" media. All other sports you need to search on different sport tv channels etc. ..

2012-08-09 01:05:55
Yeah, that's how everyone looks in Sweden, problem?

There are not more or less gay people in Sweden compared to any other country, Sweden just accepts it.
2012-08-09 01:15:41
Because it's Sweden standards.
2012-08-10 14:01:55
And all South Koreans are in Master League at sc2 right?
2012-08-10 16:09:08
Not all, because the other countriess would feel raped and then only Korea in SC2, the game would lose sponsors.

But the ones that aren't can easily rape some foreign player from ML.

2012-08-08 18:46:32

4. shooting
5. athletics
6. handball
7. equitation
8. mountaineering
9. sport fishing (didn't even know something like this exists :D)
10. table tennis
11. alpine skiing
12. swimming
13. volleyball
14. golfing
15. badminton
