there is not really a table tennis club in singapore. but you can go to community centres to take part in the table tennis  programs there where there will be players for you to train with and play against. the one nearest to you will be at bukit timah community centre. go online to check out the courses offered there or anywhere in singapore. oh the other hand, you can volunteer to play for yr consituency for the yearly inter-consituency competition. go to the nearest community centre to ask abt it. they may organise training session for you guys but it may not be so well organised to yr liking, ya so i think that's abt all..

Wow.. I can't believe someone asked. I'm actually Jordanian.\n\nTHey love their football there. Kids play in schools, people play in empty fields, and in the public parks. People are hard core about it sometimes. From the people I met, most of them are either Liverpool, Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, or (to a lesser but significant extent) AS Roma fans there. They love Brazil as well.\n\nThey don't have a great league with 10 or 12 teams in it. The biggest two are Faisali and Wehdat which is like a derby. They hate each other. \n\nThe national team got really good at one point with good results such as 0-0 ties with Sweden and South Korea, a 1-1 tie with Japan (they lost on penalties in the Asian cup quarter finals), and a 1-0 victory over Iran. Their highest FIFA ranking was 39th, however now they are in the 80s. Their coach is the Egyptian Mahmoud el Gohari. \n\nTheir star player was their goalie Amer Shafi. Then he started getting arrogant and thought he was too good for his team and stopped showing up to practice. He was handed a ban from his team and hasn't played for a while with the national team. (I think that led to their decline, but it was a good move)

Agreed.  \nBut then look at Ireland... Soccer is a sub sport (Eiercom League) compared to GAA.  Granted the Ireland International squad consists mainly of premiership or Championship Div. players and is decent although didn't qualify Euro 2004 or World Cup 2006.  But Gaelic sports are still No. 1 here.

1) Iran and England\n2)combine basketball, baseball and football and you get its importance (in both cultures)\n3) not really \n4) Culturally, the domestic league (MLS) doesnt have the viewership that the EPL and IPL(irans league) does in those countries and worldwide\nAlso, since ive been in the US, I havent noticed US get into World Cup fever(something that I miss).. it seemed US was mroe into it this year as my friends had heard of Ronaldinho and some commerials with him init\nAmerican soccer doesnt have a distinctive style\n5) Form identity- grow up with them so it easens the transition\n6) NOT 7 hahha. yea it can be.. it can also indicate youre an immigrant lol.  tho more nonimmigrants are geting into it.. ie my friends

I remember being a referee for soccer and one of the qualifications was you have to be older that fifthteen and you had to at least play soccer for a couple of years and the league gives you a test on your skills on coping with people ranging from little kids to teenagers so it takes a little time before you know that you are going to be a referee.

Soccer it was invented in Egypt and since than it has been around. Plus its played all over the world and it is worshiped by most nations except USA.

Size of the players.  In the early part of the twentieth century too many people were killed so they kept adding padding and added passing.\n\nThe style of play is different too.

Soccer is a fairly new sport in the US.  Other countries have played soccer for decades but the US invented other sports (AKA Football).  Soccer has began to gain popularity though.

Because of our history? Singapore was founded by a British and so was ruled by British law and English became our 1st Language. The people here mostly came from China, then followed by nearby countries. And we do lots of trading with many other countries due to our port location, including trading genes i guess.. so everything's mix. Most of us still uses our own race's language, or even other races'. And we use dialects too. Different Chinese has different dialects. So an average Singapore knows at least 3 ways of communicating here... hehe...

I like badminton. It's a popular sports in Singapore. I play badminton every Wednesday 8-10pm @ Yio Chu Kang Communnity Club. Most of the players are beginner level.

National team: England. Majority of Singaporeans support England, because they were our former colonial masters, their league is the most popular etc etc... I'm just following the crowd really.\n\nClub: Arsenal. Funny reason really. When I was young I got a Premier League sticker book. I flipped it open and saw that the first team was Arsenal (because they started with 'A'). I supported them since.\n\nMy second club is Sunderland, because I'm a car nut and Nissan has a car plant in Sunderland.\n\nI have funny reasons for supporting teams...
