Yes yes, we saw it. But still nobody knows about New Zelander players while everybody knows millions of Brazuca players, so yes Brazil wins by far

There's no debate.
NZ has won 46 olympic gold medals (summer) while Brazil only won 30.
Per capita, NZ stands at the 6th place while Brazil is 79th.

Olympic Games means RESIDUAL sports. You can win 200 medals in synchronized swimming and fencing, so what?

I only know Jonah Lomu, anyway Rugby impact on a global scale is not comparable to Football.

Funnily enough, Portugal qualified for the Rugby World Cup in 2007 and had the All Blacks in their pool:

It fits exactly with title of thread 'sports globally'

Just admit that Brazil is shit at sport

Btw, Brazil's medals come mostly from residual sports..

Please, one football matchday of the top leagues or of the Champions League has way more followers than most of the Olympic sports wich is an event every 4 years. Who the hell knows the olympic medalists of kayak, fencing or archery ?
