Countries where Soccer is not the National Sport.

[Asal Mor]

According to this quiz there are 34 countries in the world where soccer is not the most popular national sport. I was able to guess 18 of them in 7 minutes. That doesn't sound that good until you see how obscure some of the answers are. Anyway, if anyone (like me) has too much time on their hands give it a try.

Using google or what ever other "pretend to know it" server is not PC. Try to use the ole grey matter if you think it matters

Killed me to pull 19 out - a lot of typing in name after name
would struggle to name 60% of all the countries in the world I'd say.....

What about Wales for Rugby.

[muppet]

17 a bit pissed off it didn't accept New Guinea but there you go.

I should have got a couple of the European ones and one other rugby one but the rest I hadn't a hope.

[Asal Mor]

Yeah I'd have thought rugby was more popular than soccer in Wales but maybe the numbers playing soccer are higher.

Didn't see too many of those 6'5" volleyball giants in Cambodia the last time I was there.

Papua New Guinea?

Can't get on it in work. Good few Eastern European ones would be basketball I imagine. Lot of Baseball and cricket in Latin America and the Caribbean, good few rugby ones too.

Bastards wouldn't accept Sith Cinty Dublin for rugby

Is Wales a country or a principality?
