HAven't you seen the facts in the game?
England invented football, rugby, cricket, and tennis.

Not bad. The U.S. invented baseball and American football. Canada invented hockey, basketball, and curling. It seems English speaking cultures have mastered the art of athletic competition.

The basic ideas for the olympics were also invented in England.

They should host the World Cup every year, like the Stanley Cup or Super Bowl. Instead of having all the top players return to small national leagues, they should have consistent qualification rounds (kind of like a regular season) on an international scale that ends off with the World Cup being rewarded every year. The division 1 leagues etc can simply be used to farm players for national teams. It would be the ultimate of any sports league in the world.

No way. It takes years alone for the qualifying stages. Then there's the European championships, domestic leagues, FA etc etc. It's just not possible.

The Euro they hold mid-way between the last and next World Cup, right? I guess a nice tourny every 2 years ain't that bad.

I wonder if he expected all the razzle dazzle there is with the game today, considering he first used peach baskets and players wouldn't do jump shots, they would do granny throws between the legs with both hands.
