soccer, definitively 
i'm german, and the main sport here is soccer/football.. we also have a lot of good or very good players but i myself think they are much too arrogant and self-confident.
i also think it's unfair that one can earn millions of euro just because he's good at scoring.. 
greets

German soccer guys are sexy and attractive, like Oliver Kahn . that is why I love to watch soccer. actually, I am not a soccer fan, when I watch soccer games, I am actually watching those handsome guys |

aah, i don't like oliver kahn, he has a too big mouth and i don't like him in general..
but you're very right there are so many really handsome guys in the soccer league, not only in germany but also in brasilia or the other soccer teams 
i'm not a real soccer fan either, i never have been in a real live game but i know the rules - more or less - and sometimes i watch it, just to know what's going on and to watch the guys

wow, you don't like him? yeah, everyone has the different taste.
For me, Oliver Kahn is very powerful and charming! he is like a lion! and when he opens his big mouth and shouts out, he looks like a raving lion! very manly.
Here in China, many girls like him. he is so cool. |

In China, table tennis(ping-pong) is a popular sport. most Chinese people are good at this sport. as you know, now Chinese people almost monopolize this sport. of course, that isn't good for the development of Ping-Pong.
No suspense, No enthusiasm. if you go watch a sport-game, and you actually can predict the result of this game, then this game is very boring.
As a Chinese, one hand, I am proud of Ping-Pong's success of Chinese people, on the other hand, I worry that maybe this sport is going into a narrow channel. I hope more people focus on Ping-Pong. |

but i thought that ping-pong is not exactly the same as table-tennis?! in germany, you play ping-pong for fun and in your freetime, not professionally. table-tennis has its own strict rules and there are contests of table-tennis. but maybe in english these two expressions are interchangeable..

| I don't exactly know whether or not Ping-Pong=table tennis in english. but here in China, Ping-Pong is such a sport by which people can play it at free time as an entertainment, and it also has its strict rules when it is a contest. |

But frankly, 2002 worldcup is widely considered as a cheat scandal. few people trusted in the result.
especially for Italian team, and Spanish team, , the judgement was totally unfair. and Korean team's success was doubtable. |

You are right Mr.Admiral.
I played tennis table for 3 years. I know chinese players are the best on the world 
Chinese players keep the rocket in other way than in Europe:P I tried this handle on the training, so strange, but you can play faster this way.

Yes, in the chinese way, the handle is more secure.
But in the european way you can cut the ball much easier. I tried this out, but after ten seconds I had to change it back because it gave my hand too much freedom and I couldn't control it. |
