Miguel Sanchez

I have to say I've enjoyed what I've seen of the women's climbing events.

I thought you were better than this

Womens' penalties are even worse than the goalkeepers.

This is mildly interesting. Who knew such terrible technology existed?

Make it an endurance event, you keep going round until every team fucks up a baton change and gets knocked out. Could go on for hours.

Inches away from gold. Shiter.

What on earth is this Kenyan outfit design btw? Hideous.

Faroe Islands aren't up to much, unsurprisingly. Fróði Benjaminsen - Wikipedia is their most-capped player and has won Faroese player of the year more times than anyone else with 4, so he wins. Outside of football they don't compete in lots of sports because they're not always recognised as their own country. Helgi Dam Ziska - Wikipedia is the only Faroese chess grandmaster ever. Torkil Nielsen - Wikipedia is a former footballer and chess player, which is an interesting combo. I'm tempted to go for Ziska over Benjaminsen here, since I think the level he's reached in chess is more impressive. Fiji have a few established footballers at international level, which is probably to be expected as one of the larger pacific islands. Roy Krishna - Wikipedia has the most caps, is very close to having the most goals and should have a few years left in his career to extend those. Fiji's best ever sportsman is probably a rugby player, so I'll let someone who knows about rugby tell us who. Finland's best ever footballer is Jari Litmanen - Wikipedia I asked my Finnish web-pal to rank the Finnish men, and he gave me this order: 1. Paavo Nurmi - Wikipedia 2. Tommi Mäkinen - Wikipedia 3. Mika Häkkinen - Wikipedia 4. Litmanen 5. Jari Kurri - Wikipedia 6. Teemu Selänne - Wikipedia Seems reasonable to me. France's best ever footballer is Zinedine Zidane - Wikipedia. Old people might argue Michel Platini - Wikipedia but Zidane gets my vote. France have one of the longest lists of success in other sports so I'm going to pick out what I think/can work out as the best for each. If anyone has any other suggestions or a preference, fire away. Bernard Hinault - Wikipedia won 5 Tours de France, 3 Italian and 2 Spanish Tours de France. Henri Cochet - Wikipedia won 4 French Opens, 2 Wimbledons and 1 US Open in tennis. René Lacoste - Wikipedia won 3 French, 2 Wimbledon and 2 US. Serge Blanco - Wikipedia was called the Pele of rugby by French fans so... him? Tony Parker - Wikipedia won 4 NBA titles, an assortment of individual awards and a European championship for France. Alain Prost - Wikipedia won the Formula 1 world championship 4 times. Sébastien Loeb - Wikipedia won the World Rally Championship 9 times, Sébastien Ogier - Wikipedia has won it 7 times. Nikola Karabatić - Wikipedia was named world handball player of the year three times, and France is the most successful handball nation ever. Jean-Claude Killy - Wikipedia won shitloads of medals and championships in skiing. Do any of them compare to Zidane or Platini?

Good idea tbf. Give every country a wildcard entry for one person for each event. Doesn't matter if you need to traverse an entire country in a day to do six different sports, you're doing it.

Do you really think that when people say "Hamilton is so lucky" that they should quantify and correct themselves by considering his entire life and circumstances, and that of all his competitors?

As someone who looked up what the modern pentathlon is while that was happening, the ancient and modern ones are based on things that soldiers did: Modern pentathlon - Wikipedia Ancient Olympic pentathlon - Wikipedia The original version was running, javelin, discus, long jump and wrestling.

Writing's on the wall for this relationship imo.

Does Keane usually call Man United "we"?

Joe Hart doesn't seem like the goalkeeper who should be playing behind this defence.

Oh he's obviously winning, I meant for the non-footballers.

Get your arguments ready for France.

I've updated the list in the OP. Equatorial Guinea don't have much to offer. Iván Zarandona - Wikipedia is their most capped player and played in Spain mostly. Emilio Nsue - Wikipedia is their leading scorer in a very short amount of games and has played in Spain and England for longer, so he wins this one. A lot of their best players are naturalised and Nsue is too, but it still counts imo. Their most famous non-footballer is Eric Moussambani - Wikipedia who you might know better as Eric the Eel. Eritrea have one of my favourite names so far, with their most-capped and joint top scorer being Yidnekachew Shimangus - Wikipedia. I'm not sure if I should count Henok Goitom - Wikipedia who was Swedish-born but eventually represented the country of his parents. I'm going to pick the guy with the name, but he's finishing behind Zersenay Tadese - Wikipedia with numerous successes in the world half-marathon championships, as well as Olympic and world championship medals in the 10,000 metres. Ghirmay Ghebreslassie - Wikipedia won the marathon in the 2015 world championship but that's his only medal, putting him in second for me. It's worth looking at the picture on his wikipedia and judging if his listed age is accurate, though. Estonia have quite a few experienced footballers near the top of their numbers, but most of them are from domestic and similar levels. Wikipedia tells me that Ragnar Klavan - Wikipedia has won the Estonian Footballer of the Year award a record seven times, so he seems an easy choice. Outside of football they struggle a bit since they were Estonia pre-1940 and post-1991, so the Soviet Union era has taken away a lot of their options. Ott Tänak - Wikipedia was 2019 World Rally Champion. Erki Nool - Wikipedia won the decathlon at the 2000 Olympics, Gerd Kanter - Wikipedia is a world and Olympic champion in the discus, Andrus Veerpalu - Wikipedia is a multiple world and Olympic champion in cross-country skiing. I think all four of these guys beat Klavan, and I'm going to pick Veerpalu because he won more over a longer period of time. Eswatini have a lot of domestic options with nobody really playing at a high level. Tony Tsabedze - Wikipedia has more caps than anyone else, let's pick him. There's even less to go on outside of football, so if anyone has any Africa knowledge they're holding out on, fire away. Ethiopia are the same as Eswatini but a bit better. Getaneh Kebede - Wikipedia is their leading scorer and looks like he'll take the appearance record soon too. Ethiopia won the African Cup of Nations in 1962 and were captained by Luciano Vassallo - Wikipedia, who might be worth a shout. This is all irrelevant of course, given Ethiopia's success in distance running. Your choices here are Haile Gebrselassie - Wikipedia or Kenenisa Bekele - Wikipedia. Gebrselassie was in the Great Scottish Run in 2013, the same as me, so he's getting my vote here and the overall win for his country.

It's not showing the game though, only on the SD version.

Not much of a contender for anything, then.

I love old people who don't get how the internet works.

Today I reached the A+ rank in GT Sport after 1400 races, 100 hours and 100,000 miles Today I won a Rocket League tournament (Champion rank) for the first time after I don't know how many attempts Today was a good day

Wagering

Good stuff in Raith. Almost reassuring to see Zen Archer posting shite puns that nobody engages with in there too.
