Have to agree with them. Teams that play in UEFA competitions have been playing at least 2 matches a week since beginning of September. Plus, in a normal WC, players join their national teams 2 to 3 weeks before the tournament starts. This time, many players had matches the weekend before the WC started and joined their teams less than a week before first match.

Not the end of the world to lose 1st place to a Benfica player. Much worse if it was to Chishafuwaku as he seems to be a Sporting supporter.

Terutsuyoshi is only 27. Not retiring anytime soon

Can't we just assume he wanted to be a restaurant owner for his 2nd life after sumo? Not everyone in sumo might want to be in it until they are 70. People have other dreams. Expecially someone like him that only went professional at 22 and has experienced other things in life.

Seems too low. How did you get to 15? Also, don't think there is a correct answer unless you put the condition that none of the 6 are from the same heya. Otherwise, in a weird but possible scenario where the 6 are from the same heya, the answer would be 0.

Ok, it's true that most of us portuguese have zero faith on a team that starts the games with 10 players because of a bench warmer that used to be a star, has a puppet as a coach and the team selection is made by a Football Agent trying to promote his players, but it is a bit harsh to be excluded from the list of teams at the world cup...

Sorry for sending all teams populated, but doing this on a mobile and it keeps auto populating all teams whenever I scroll down. Gave up after a few tries. But at least the order is correct.

Any reason why rikishi (except for Ichinojo) won't say anything in English apart from the now getting annoying "Sumo Prime Time" thing? Tamawashi was partially comunicating in English on his idiot abroad short clip 10 years ago. Today, nothing. They do know these videos are for a foreign audience.

Done now.

Just sent mine.

Only 2 kyujo reported in JSA site: East Makushita #10 Ishiura （Miyagino Beya） has withdrawn the Day 1 of the September Tournament. West Makushita #50 Suguro （Fujishima Beya） has withdrawn the Day 1 of the September Tournament.

Pls sign me in

Having only participated in 7 Olimpics, they do have 17 medals at Wrestling events. That's more than most countries, including Mongolia

If they don't say anything, then it will be the first time people will actually play what the game is called (Guess the banzuke) More seriously, think that once they announce the Juryo promotions the week after the basho we will have an idea. Assuming they will keep with the schedule of announcing that day. Although we also need to see the final picture on day 15 of the final score of Tochimaru, Kaisei, Yago, Roga and Kanno.

Someone go make a big bowl of coffee to keep the big man awake or ask Hakuho to slap him a bit before his matches. A bit concern to when he fights the lower ranked in the second week if he is still in the lead. That's against whom he normally gets the stupid losses where he doesn't even try.
