Nishikori defeated by Richard Gasquet of France. We'll have a white winner on the men's side.

Cantona's wife is an Arab of Algerian background.

Tsonga may be the next highest but he was lucky to get past Baghdatis in 5 sets so he's not playing that well. He would also likely play Djokovic if he made it to the semi-finals. I'm not worried. Well, not yet anyway. I would say Nishikori is the biggest non-white threat to win at Roland Garros.

Game 7 between Pittsburgh and Tampa. For the sake of hockey I'd like to see the Penguins win and play San Jose in the final. If it's an all "sunshine" final between relatively new teams from California and Florida most people outside of those markets will tune it out. Besides Pittsburgh is the...

Giovinco has played so well in MLS he should be given a chance in Serie A but I'm afraid the MLS is not respected in Europe. Apparently Giovinco prefers Toronto where he actually gets to play, instead of warming the bench, and gets big money for doing so. (I hope he's making more than Joze...

Yet they don't protest globalisation when it comes to immigration and multiculturalism. French unions have gone to bat for Muslims who had their security clearances removed at Roissy and clearly have no problems with the mass Third World invasion of France. Unions are only interested in their...

Adelson is not a neocon. He probably doesn't assume, as neocons do, that US interventionism in the Middle East is necessary for Israel. There's a Jewish faction in Israel that believes the US obsession with human rights and multilateral approaches could prevent Israel from dealing, perhaps once...

I've flown into Charles de Gaulle airport quite a few times over the last decade but I've usually avoided flying out of that airport because I'm a bit paranoid about its security. Obviously given how many flights there are per day there are high odds against something happening but ten years ago...

So van Gaal can now shred all those worthless notes he wrote to himself every time United conceded a goal or penalty.

Heretic - Most of the non-English at Premier League matches seem to be East Asians (what Americans call Orientals). Given that there aren't that many of them - relatively speaking - in the UK I think they are probably tourists. As long as the Premier League is considered high status in Asia...

I was reading some stats on league attendance on Twitter - I can't link the tweet - which said the average % of a stadium filled in Serie A this year was only 54%. Compare that to the Premier League 96%, Bundesliga 92%, Eredivisie (Holland) 87%, Liga 71%, and France Ligue 1 66%. Even the 2nd...

When Caste Football gets a "Competitive Eating" forum in the Other Sports section we will know the Idiocracy has arrived.:smile: It might some day be the last American "sport' not dominated by blacks, though I'm guessing they could do pretty well at a chicken wings eating contest.

The San Jose Sharks have put their playoff choking reputation behind them. I'd like to see St Louis win it all. They've been around forever, have always had a loyal fan base, but have never won the Cup. Poor Ovechkin. He's running out of time.

At least Vincent Kompany isn't there. I guess that Champions League injury was serious. Eden Hazard is captain.

frederic38 - 'Hookah' is how Englishmen, Australians, and some Southern US people (including most blacks) pronounce the word hooker. IOW non-rhotic English - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English Seems appropriate.

Two good goals in the 2nd half between Man City and Arsenal. First De Bruyne scored a good goal then Alexis Sanchez and Giroud combined brilliantly for an Arsenal goal. There was also some comedy involving a black player for City, I think it was Iheanacho. He was a approaching the box with an...

That Swiss team at the last World Cup was a disgrace. Yesterday I watched part of the Switzerland hockey game (against Kazakhstan). The entire Swiss was white and I think all but two (Raphael Diaz and some Canadian turned Swiss) had distinctly Swiss German/Italian/French names. Quite the...

They'll still be the least white team in their group though.:cool: We should start up a new thread when the tournament starts. Hopefully we can get more activity then.

Vincent Kompany goes off injured early against Real Madrid. He should look on the bright side: at least this year he won't be to blame for a winning goal for the Spanish opponents of Man City.

Why are Thai (and other Asian) Millionaires heavily involved in english football? http://www.sportsrevolution.co.uk/why-are-thai-millionaires-buying-english-football-clubs/ Because the Premier League has prestige and it brings them, and their business, gravitas, something which is much sought...

I was looking at the teams on the official UEFA website. Here is the Northern Ireland page: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2016/teams/team=63/squad/index.html The black guy shown is Josh Magennis. He's not a star, usually a substitute or stand-in in various positions for an...

5000 to 1 Leicester City win the Premier League. Nice goal by Eden Hazard for Chelsea to tie it up and deny Tottenham three points. Jamie Vardy - not Mahrez:D - chosen as the Football Writers' player of the year...

Sterling had a bit of a chance late on. De Bruyne is clearly the best player on the team. If he could score early at the Bernabeu they could get through on the away goal rule but, yes, Real are still favourites, especially if Ronaldo is fit.

Just before half time a Benzema shot sailed way too high. He was subbed (Jesé) at half time. Real Madrid look quite ordinary without Ronaldo but they've still had more chances to score than City.

It's all but over for Spurs after a surprise draw at home against West Brom. Kane didn't add to his goals tally but he still leads in goals over Vardy and Aguero. Lukaku and Mahrez are fourth and fifth. Vardy should be the top scorer for the (likely) new champs Leicester as he has five more...
