@racingblogger I’m not Irish, but I know one thing. If you ever try and banter an Irishman, you better have your fastball because they are the best in the business at playing that game

🗣 Michael O'Leary responds: - "Elon Musk called me a retarded twat."
"All I have to say to Musk is, he'd have to join a very, very, very long que of people who think I'm a retard twat, including my four teenage children." 😂😂😂

@SagwadhiNM @thomasguy789 We have 14 more Rugby Championships/Tri Nations than you. Do these count or do we only keep the score at the RWC?
English
@BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 How many tangible world cups do all these wins amount to?
English
How is a tiny island with a population of 5 million where the main sport is rugby bossing a country of a billion in their backyard 😭

@rrrrrrrusty @flavabava07 @thomasguy789 I know it happened a long time ago but we've had some pretty classy middle distance runners over the years (Snell, Walker, Halberg) and Val Adams has a couple of golds in the shot put.
But I take your point going forward. Our hauls will likely be in the sports you describe
English
@flavabava07 @BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 They may be universal but really only accessible to the affluent class due to the costs involved in competing in those sports, hence my niche comment. This is true for rowing, cycling etc
The only gold (1/10) NZ won in 2024 that was genuine track and field was high jump men’s.

@CurryGotGame30 @thomasguy789 I can throw in an NBA ring just for you Captain America.
He played 0 minutes in the playoffs and got carried all the way there but I'll take it hahaha

@BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 Best rugby team? Hold the phone, the bokie would love a chat
English
@Dfffytbbnj @thomasguy789 You can have the best at hurling and gaelic football, respectfully. I've got family in Cork, so I have to be careful with this one haha

@MickyJa49346480 @thomasguy789 You mean to tell me the oldest competition in world sport and the most prestigious prize in sailing doesn't count? In a discussion about sailing??
English
@MickyJa49346480 @thomasguy789 Does holding the America's Cup not count on the sailing front?
English
@BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 Amazing country at sport, but you’re not the best sailors or the best rowers. At the minute you’re miles behind the best rugby teams in both men’s and women’s rugby as well.
English
@soccerflog @thomasguy789 Yea, I'm willing to concede that right this very second SA are a better side. Look at the All Blacks win percentage over the last 20 years or so though. Not even a discussion
English
@BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 Not true plus all sports that 98% of the world doesn’t care about
Who won the last 2 rugby world cups ?
English
@rrrrrrrusty @thomasguy789 Agree to a certain extent, but as long as the medals around your neck, it counts
English
@BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 If you look at the medals Kiwis win at the Olympics, most of them are from niche sports with high barriers to entry. They’re not exactly blue riband event winners.
English
@diamondblue63 @thomasguy789 To be fair, we did underwhelm a touch at the 2024 Olympics on the rowing front, but we won the medal tally for rowing in 2020. We're definitely in the conversation I'd like to think
English
@BraceForImpac16 @thomasguy789 Rowers is pushing it a bit. McLaren is a British team started by a kiwi but you are spot on . And you’re the nicest guys in sports too.

In the UK, Coming to America soon if we don’t stop it.

@BraceForImpac16 @MaMoMVPY Legitimacy will become more complex in that case.
English
@MaMoMVPY 140 billion isn't no debt.
Anyway, Greenland will declare independence at some point and that will move the negotiation directly to Greenland... and the people of Greenland will be the only ones to benefit at that point given that Denmark blew their shot at a payout.

@DigsiesGolf @DoubleVodkaDon You could tell he had been in high pressure situations before. Knew exactly how to be and how to keep his teammates on course. Almost played so well they might not have him back haha
English
@DoubleVodkaDon He got better the more intense it got. Rises to the occasion.

Brad Dalke is such a beast. I’m enamored by him. He must be loving life. Imagine playing super competitive golf your whole life where everyone is trying to rip your throat out on the course and now you play with dudes who are just amazed by every shot you hit. Incredible.
