The Bosman ruling was enforced because it was in breach of European Laws. Last time I looked, Japan wasn't covered by this...

And I think that many other EU countries still enforce transfer fees.

If four people are in a car accident and the only person survived was wearing a seatbelt would it be suspicious? Just because one of them is famous shouldn't make it any different.

Yes, let's hang the evil bitch for totally ignoring the child. We know what she was doing because we have all the facts at our disposal. We know she was negligent because she was a Japanese woman.

Or alternatively this is a tragic accident which happens in every country and…

World Cup tickets are sold out MONTHS in advance. Whether Japan is or isn't in the Second round is irrelevant but you can guarantee that every game would be sold out.

Stronger than England only considering that Europe hosted the World Cup after Asia, and it's been a while since US 94. It's all about the confederations not countries.

And where does most TV revenue come from? Europe. The next World Cup is in South Africa - good for European viewers.…

So the fact that Minke Whale can be hunted sustainably is not a reasonable argument? Interesting.

IWC website tables have the minke listed as data-deficient, so drawing such conclusions is a bit rich, but to be expected.

510,000 - 1,140,000 with a 95% confidence level. Source IWC website. I think it's fair to say that taking 2,000 Minke a year is not going to have an…
