  1. Depends on the content. Netflix style shows like the one on F1 or The Tour, no thank you. Those are just reality TV shows that portrait stories far from reality and only telling the part of the stories they want often scripted by producers. To have a show focusing on rikishi A not liking rikishi B, being friends with C and talking trash about D I don't see how it would benefit the sport and it would only bring in majority the wrong kind of fans. Long time motorsports fans are seeing the damage the "new audience" that F1 has attracted the last 5 or 7 years has done to F1.

    Flights to Japan are not that high as mentioned. Quick search departing one month from now and returning one week later - London: 850£, Frankfurt 900€. Even the mentioned Dallas is 1150$. Not cheap, but not out of this world...

    JSA English version website has a big warning regarding ticket websites, including a popular one often mentioned on the forum. Is that something new? I don't visit their site on regular basis to notice before.

    Betting odds for the upcoming basho

    Betting odds nowadays are mostly created by dedicated companies (not the betting company) that then sell the odd information to betting companies, who (should) review them and publish them, sometimes slightly changing the percentage. One company sells to multiple betting companies, so in a niche sport like Sumo it wouldn't be a surprise that it is only one company or two providing the odds to the few betting companies that have Sumo. Some of the larger betting companies also have in-house teams that create odds. And the way they determine the odds is mostly based on maths and statistics, so AI also takes a part in the process. Long are the years it was some bloke with a pen and piece of paper doing them.

    I don't understand the dislike for Takakeisho and some people being happy that he lost his rank due to injuries. This is a guy that has a natural physical disadvantage against most people he his competing against, but still managed to become the second best non-Yokozuna in history in terms of titles (the most important metric in any sport). Instead of being praised he is criticized for what he achieved...

    Thanks for organising Athenayama and congrats on the win! From my side, and trying to justify an appalling performance I'll quote the 3 most successful Portuguese Coaches (Mourinho, Jesus and Conceição), "The team played bad, players put no effort, did lots of individual mistakes and ignored what I told them to do. Also, the referees had several wrong decisions against us" (but I was perfect and did nothing wrong). PS, I'm the forum member who plays the CL :)

    Ok. I thought the ones selected before the semis were for the semis. Clarified then.

    How do I have Switzerland if they were not one of the 4 teams to choose from the list?

    Did I get robbed again? Haven't had the chance to watch the match, but looking at my team's score I'll assume I did.

    Yeah, they have that rule of not being able to replace someone that had a red card. At least he scored 2 points. Playing the same game on champions league you sometimes can get negative points.

    I have personally apologized to Lukaku for removing him from captain and from the team all together. He would have given me 4 points, which is 100% more his replacement gave....

    No, they are really getting robbed. That penalty on Ronaldo was clear, especially if you see from the camera above. Worst part is that it didn't even went for VAR review.
