Re: Should Nigeria Reconsider Olympic Participation?
No, Olympics is beyond the winning I know this sound corny, but its a global festival of participants (Win or lose) Because we are not winning doesnt mean we should abandon the game. There are many countries ahead and behind us who have had little to no medals In terms of medalling, we can't just s...

Re: Should Nigeria Reconsider Olympic Participation?
In my opinion, controversially, the availability of government funding for Olympics may be the root cause of Nigeria under performance. It creates perverse incentives the officialdom mess and corruption we see at every Olympics games. Even with private funding there would still be corruption as you...

Re: Will a South American country ever win the WC again?

It is also more likely that a knocked out team (for example during the group stage) is european than african. Yet at the 2018 Wor...

Re: Croatia 3 vs Spain 3
A country of 4 million in Croatia with class players, a nation of 200 million cannot come up with 22 players. Why is South Africa so good at Rugby?
