Yeah. Especially back in the day when we did have as number of sports halls and leisure centres. Like the perfect sport especially with our shyt weather. But I guess it comes down to didn't invent it don't care about it. Unless hosting the Olympics which took about 60 odd years to happen. It reminds me a country that loves 5 a side/indoor football socially for decades never took to futsal until recently always has me :dahell:
I remember at school when the weather was really bad they had us playing indoor rounders :deadmanny:

Futsal started coming up big around the time when i was at uni, but even then it was only really the foreign students who even played. Had us at the sports centre looking down on the courts like 'ey why the ball so small? :dahell:'

This is a historical vestige due to the Italian invasion of the eastern horn in the 1800s. Eritrea was a part of the Italian “empire”. Italy simply invaded brought their bikes and left them after WWII. That’s why cycling is so ingrained in that region of Africa. They had bikes.

I talking the talent and results is being recognized. Like Daniel Teklehaimanot wearing the king of the mountains jersey in Le Tour and Biniam Girmay winning silver in the World u23 this year.
