Which country is hated most in sport? Which country do others want to beat the most?

Italy is hated for 2006 World Cup, even if they were possibly the best team, because of the final that went wrong.

Chad Italian:


And yes, Trajan was an Italian because his parents hailed from Italic tribes of Italy that settled in southern Spain. He wasn't a native Iberian.

Yea they own lots of shops/businesses there apparently. Im not too sure why theres tension there though. According to my aunt, theres been an influx of republic azeris there but idk if thats it either lol.

What’s the demographics of Tabriz? Surely its 90% + Azeri?

Of course Brazil's biggest rival is Argentina on every sport. Maybe in MMA there's a Brazil x US rivalry, but that's unique.

However, I do think India x Pakistan in Cricket is the biggest rivalry between nations on sports.

Probably. Considering theres been a lot of growth in that city, i wouldnt be surprised if theres been some recent migration. What I can tell you though, is theres been some shit going on in Urmieh and Mahabad too. The youth have been experiencing some heavy propaganda so it could be that. I'll let you know whats been going on if i ever get the chance to go to Iran

Strongest ones, every basic human always cheers for the weaker team. Well anyways in football Brazil is very adored and hated at the same time. In Ice Hockey Canada is pretty disliked because they use cheeky tricks, imo everybody is just jealous because they are superior and know tricks because of high level of experience in the game.

There better question would be which clubs are most hated in each sports. For example Barcelona used to be very hated for several years or Bayern in Bundesliga... but this is another story.

What are cheeky tricks? Haha. The Canadian style can hardly be described as "tricky." They have a very straightforward approach to the game.
