I don't understand. Why are there Chinese Taipei and Chinese Hong Kong? I mean they all are Chinese, so why not only one China team?

[@maartenschuurman8723]

Because Hongkong and Taiwan are different countries than China. Taipei is the capital of Taiwan

[@ZaimoZaragazzo]

But they are ALL and still being Chinese people who are called/named slit eyes or shit chinese. Often heard these slangs as dutch like to name and put people in cubical boxes. So even in sports there are weird segregations. Meanwhile the representive organisations are promoting "Fair Play"? LOL!!!@@maartenschuurman8723

China is upset by those countries’ claims to independence, so because China have a lot of International influence, those countries are forced to compete with China in their names.

I was astonished seeing how the Dutch celebrated their victory. Like they really achieved something. The men are twice the size of the Taiwanese, they are semi professional players and there was never any doubt whatsoever who would win this tournament. Korfball will need at least two or three decades at least to grow as a sport and to generate serious competition for The Netherlands and Belgium. (Belgium losing the semis was just an incident and it's unlikely to happen again) Until then a piece of advice to the Dutch team: your win was nothing special. You will win the 2027, 2031 and 2035 world cups again, so next to training start practising to be humble....

Suriname (mini Netherlands) will go for the throne they're starting to making good progress

[@TheCriticalPolitician]

​@@kalm435Surinam? They're all players from non Korfball League clubs in The Netherlands. I'm not sure but I don't think any of the players actually live in Surinam. It's still nice these guys gave Surinam a podium, but competition for The Netherlands and Belgium? Nah..

[@kalm435]

@@TheCriticalPolitician Yeah, it's not gonna happen in a short period. But if we could get more players like Iske van Ginkel and Randell van der Steen plus create a korfball league in Suriname I believe we could shake things up

@@TheCriticalPolitician 9 van de 10 turken en marokkanen kiezen voor het land van hun ouders. Kritiek hierop was kortstondig en is inmiddels verstomd. Bang voor mogelijke aanslagen/moorden? Surinamers zgn. rijksgenoten zijn nimmer met open armen ontvangen en de hieropvolgende vele denigrerende bijnamen! GVD!!!

Hmm, ik denk dat je het best mag vieren wanneer je de beste van de wereld wordt. Dat het elke vier jaar hetzelfde is, doet daar niet veel aan af. Steeds nieuwe spelers, e.d.
