WHAT YOU SAY

and coreans can't help but curse. Is that really a good way of getting your way in discussions? Certainly not if you're aiming to show off your intelligence...but then again, when you're dumb to begin with, it's probably not worth looking presumptious along with being stupid.

Yao Ming put in 38 points on Algeria, along with 13 boards, 8 blocks in 29 minutes of play. Not even the white prophet (Dirk Nowitzki) could that. And no Corean on the face of the planet could do that, not even against kindergartners.
On a related issue: If Corea played Canada, they would lose by 80. The score would be 82-2 (after 20 free throw attempts from the corean side).

In the last Sydney Olympics,Koreans men's team won medals in sissy sports too, like archery,badminton,fencing,gymnastics.Don't believe it? check out the sydney olympics website. Believe it or not,two out of three golds from the "taekwondo" events were won by Korean women!Tsk tsk tsk,and you say korea doesn't depend on its women to uplift the korean dignity and all that crappy trash.Besides,4 out of 8 gold medals were from women.If Korea had never fielded its "weaker,inferior female athletes" in the Games,do you think they could end up with 8 golds?They would have to be satisfied with only 4 medals.Without Korea's women athletes, Korea would only had 17 medals,instead of 28!!!So,please do not look down on others.And don't be a korean Male-macho chauvinistic pig,ok? Koreans depend on their women too.Which country doesn't?

ok ok.... i think that every single CHINESE person in here complaining about anything ... or bragging about anything should rethink a little... hmmmmmmmm think about the population of China compared to Corea Japan and the REST of Asia....hmmmmmmmmm its kind of sad huh???? with China's population it should dominate or at least have a name in every sport...=) dont u think?? But then again isnt it the Chinese who thought they were the center of the world?
its cool    Friday, August 30, 2002 at 19:37:21 (PDT)    [216.12.34.226]
Let's see, corea 2, italy 1. uh, looks like corea won. so what's ur point?

Is it not true that no european team has won the world cup outside of europe?

don't honk your horn at us you sorry loser    Friday, August 30, 2002 at 15:51:15 (PDT)    [205.188.208.70]
I guess the Chinese really get into these irrelvent sports like ping pong and gymnastics. You guys seem really proud to point this out. I can just picture bunch of Chinese guys huddled around the TV set going nuts over this.
Chinese are also famous for usings steroids, especially their women. Looks like the commies will do anything to cheat. Not to mention, all chinese athletes are supported by their government just to train and compete. Unlike the rest of free Asia, almost all
have to find sponsors while working.

Not only do the Chinese have a reading problem they also seem to have an inablity to calculate even the simplest tasks in stats. TOO funny!!!
According to REAL loser, China = 1.3 BILLION PEOPLE won 28 gold.
Corea with 50 million people won 10 gold.
Now how many more Chinese are there compared to Coreans? Now REAL loser can you calculate for me how many gold medal per person is that for China compared to Corea?
Coreans best athletes of Asia hands down. And all this nonsense talk about the chinese basketball team being good,HA!, they just lost to Germany by over 10 pts. Germans hardly play bsketball, they are a soccer power.
No doubt they will get killed by the USA in few days.

To All the Korean Losers...

Korean are the best athletes in Asia??!!?? What the f#@k !!??? What're you smoking?? I can't name one dame-sporting event you guys dominate. What Soccer? What is Korea's overall world ranking again!!??...30th spot. Oh yeah, 4th spot in world cup 2002 is not exactly dominating or superpower status. What baseball?? Japan is doing majority of the exporting to MBL not Korea...I REPEAT not Korea. For the pitful little progress you little Korea made in Soccer over the past 20+ years, you are bragging like Korea just won the World Cup or at least in the top three. For the LOVE of GOD, You Koreans are all a bunch of losers making the rest of us East Asians and AA look bad.

Koreans are good at sports ???? Whatever man....

The fun of watching Asian Game is not to find out who is number1, but to find out who is going to be DISTANT second and third -- Japan or Korea.
Number 1 is a given -- the losers call Chinese. The Chinese losers usually get about 3 times more golds than the DISTANT second, whoever that would be.

Korea got into the semi-finals of the World Cup becoz they play in their very own home ground.They also won over Italy becoz of biased referreeing.Wait till the next world cup,the italians will have their revenge. Korea will go home crying with their tails hanging low behind their asses.

Hi, Jelaous Loser:
It is really funny to learn that China is no good at sports. I suppose you are right. After all, China is only number three sports power in the world. She only earned 28 gold medals in the 2000 Olympics, that is behind US and Russia. (Germany was number three for several Olympics with about 20 golds.)

Hi loser
Do you Chinese have a reading problem?
I really think you do. I don't recall any post that said " Chinese aren't good at ANY sports!" Could you kindly find me this post?? I think we were disccussing Chinese aren't world class at any sports that matters. Yes, we all know about the mighty Chinese ping pong team, hey Corea's pretty good too. And we all know about Chinese diving team, I heard they all study films of American divers especially Greg Louganis.
Hey when you Chinese get a major league starter that can even post 10 wins in a season or save over 20 games than you Chinese get down on Park and Kim. OK?
Too funny how the Chinese blab about Chinese basketball or ping pong. As for soccer don't expect China to qualify for the World Cup unless its held in China, maybe in year 2014 or 2020.

A real jealous loser,

Just a bit of advice. If I was Chinese, those are not the sports I would be bragging about.
LAKA    Thursday, August 29, 2002 at 13:29:30 (PDT)
I know some of the the AM's in the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB:

NBA-Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Mengke Bateer.

NFL-Dat Nguyen, Johnnie Morton, Hines Ward, and Eugene Chung (Wherever he is).

NHL-Paul Kariya

MLB-Ichiro Suzuki, Chan Ho Park, Benny Agbayani, Bruce Chen, and Tsuyoshi Shinjo.

They made it this far, so now they have to work very hard.

Ping pong, badminton, diving?? R u serious?? You ARE a nerd, aren't you? That's gotta be so embarrassing to proudly proclaim that China is the best in those particular "sports." These sports get no respect from real athletes of any nationality.

The argument all along has been that China, with it's 1.2 billion people should be able to dominate in ALL sports, especially among Asians. But for some reason, CHina can perform well only in sissy sports like the ones you listed. And if you check the medal counts, you'll see that the majority are won by the Chinese WOMEN!! Sports Illustrated even ran an article before the last Olympics saying that the Chinese women are China's greatest medals resources. What's up with that??

We're all on the same planet. You just happen to be around a bunch of nerds who compete in nerd sports.
