I knew Cricket.
It's a shame the Dutch don't play Cricket, it's hard to be too enthused when other than Anglo's it's mainly played by stinky Indian wogs. The Dutch certainly have the right terrain for it.

I agree. I think it's one sport we should adopt with gusto. Same goes for golf.

Cricket, tennis, polo and golf are definitely preferable to football. A sport that has become so degenerated by commerce and mindless passions that it can only be described as prolefeed. It is, together with the lottery, just used to curtail the passions of the mob so they won't notice how the elites are robbing them blind.

As someone who was obsessed with football as a teenager, I completely agree with you. It's sickening and I can't watch it now.

A sport of multi-million dollar transfers, hooliganism and teams of mercenaries with no ties to either the city or the country. Football is dead.. what you see now is its zombie.

Same thing with pro sports here in America. I have a hard time seeing why anyone cares which team wins.

''Wildebeest'' has always given me the impression of a Dutch word - turns out there was a reason.

Sad but true.
