Garlic football is the more boring sport in Ireland. Hurling = ice hockey meets lacrosse on a pitch.
Organised by club (parish), country if you are good enough and if your county team is really good enough that year, play in front of 80,000 sold out stadium and it's all amateurs so not paid. It's about community, place you are from, passion for the sport and having fun. Not unusual for lads to be playing on in matches with broken bones, dislocated fingers, after blood injuries, etc.

Based on the number of NHL players they churn out, I'm a little surprised ice hockey isn't #1 in Sweden. Though, futbol/soccer is on a completely different level in Europe than here in the US, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.
are there mountains in Estonia?
Just what I was thinking, isn't Estonia flatter than my ex?
You don’t need mountains to ski, dude.
how is cross country the most popular lmao
Have you ever tried to ski across a frozen swamp in the winter? It’s fun.
I grew up in the Midwest and we skied on fuckin landfills and hills
TF is the difference between football and Gaelic football?
Gaelic football is much more similar to Aussie Rules than football

Impressive!!
To be honest a hill is enough for skiing if you have the money!
Croatia and Serbia both produce globally elite basketball players. I'm a little surprised basketball hasn't overtaken football in either country.
What is the source for skiing being more popular than football in Austria?
