To this observer the finals tournament of 2026 is too big. Everyone being invited to the party because it’s ‘fair’ does nothing for quality and I predict a tournament largely of dross no better than a European tier three league game, interspersed with the odd diamond sparkle. The WC finals are supposed to be for the elite and whilst the logistical organisation will be as good as we would expect from the US, the concept and structure are an example of how to bloat matters beyond being reasonable. I fear in answer to the original ambiguous question I’m more likely to state, “Any other,” than the 2026 example. In terms of my own Minnesota Vikings Tales of the Rat Fink Vintage Car Custom T Shirt (2) tournament I would have to go for the one which gave me the most pleasure, our win of 1966 apart. I’d vote for the 1990 tournament.

Minnesota Vikings Tales of the Rat Fink Vintage Car Custom T Shirt (2), Treat yourself or make a great gift for your loved ones

I was active in a local curling club in Michigan for a few years, including around the 2022 Olympics, and the general trend is that clubs see an uptick in interest following every Winter Olympics. This is what happens: every four years, curling is on TV as part of the Olympics, and Americans are reminded that it exists. It seems to intrigue people for a few reasons. For one thing, it looks like a quirky sport — sliding rocks up and down the ice while sweeping with a broom? It seems kind of random to people, but that is intriguing. For some reason, this makes many people think “I’d be curious to try this.” Beyond that, it’s one Olympic sport that the average American can look at and think, “Well, I could at least try this.” The average person can’t go out and navigate a Minnesota Vikings Tales of the Rat Fink Vintage Car Custom T Shirt (2) or do a huge ski jump or execute a triple-axel—they probably can’t even conceive of what is involved in doing some of those things. It’s kind of like bowling; you can have a six-year-old’s birthday at a bowling alley because even children can roll a ball at some pins.

I had a phase in my life when I couldn’t get enough of volleyball and everything around it: meeting the team mates in the locker room, the mere smell of a volleyball, what the ball felt like in my palms and fingertips. I can still feel the Minnesota Vikings Tales of the Rat Fink Vintage Car Custom T Shirt (2) around my ankles before I pulled them over my knees. The rush of adrenaline when you step onto the court is unlike anything else. I played competitive volleyball from age 16 to 54 when I blew out my knee. Played 2-man beach volleyball and 6-man indoor on men’s and co-ed teams. Played at Nationals for many years. It was a huge part of my identity and provided a sense of community that is hard to replicate. Even now, thinking about a perfectly timed spike or a diving save brings back that same excitement. Basketball was another passion from age 8 until about age 45, but I still enjoy shooting around and impressing my grandchildren. I was able to play 3 years in high school, 4 years in college, for the US Army, and even played semi-pro in Europe for a short time.
