Commonwealth Games

Comm games football should happen with it being U23 and semi pro to lower tier pro so you'd get a decent batch of EFL players, A League and even some African and Caribbean domestic players.
That would be excellent! Then hopefully you’d have scouts watching to see what other leagues are like! At the World Cup some countries like Senegal (not in the Commonwealth but in the OIF) that had zero homegrown players.
 
A feel good story:

Hani Watson clinched bronze in the women’s para powerlifting and then delivered a heart-warming message back to Australia.

“You know, just don’t give up your dreams. Disabilities or not, chronic pain or not, just keep going, keep giving anything a go. I’m 44 and I’m still going. I’ve got a dream for Brisbane 2032, and I’m not going to give it up. So get out there, get it done."

Hani Watson was lucky to have even made it to Glasgow, having undergone six surgeries in the past 12 months.

I'd say 5 overage players and a squad of 21 unlike the ridiculous Olympic 18. A lot of cool EFL players from the Commonwealth are over 23.

The main upside of having ⚽️ in the Games would definitely be the weaker/minnow-nations(regardless of age-level or professional status) having the opportunity to test themselves against opposition from further afield and/or a superior standard. From an 🇦🇺 perspective it wouldn’t be a great deal to us, but for the likes of PNG, Fiji and the Subcontinental nations it’d be something of a godsend; it would undoubtedly go a fair way towards the process of improving their stock as ⚽️ nations💡
 
Gold, gold, gold for Australia in swimming!
Are we still supposed to get excited about this?
How many in Australia actually follow swimming?

Bring on the boxing!
 
Yes, obviously!!!

Millions in the Olympics and Comm Games.
Millions?
LOL
I don't think swimming is a true indication of where we stand in global sport. Swimming as a sport is insignificant in many countries.
Cheering every Australian comm. gold in swimming quickly becomes tiresome.

We literally play sports that barely anyone else cares about and you think swimming isn’t global?
 
I'm very big on the swimming. The USA Australian dominance has at times been mixed up with improvements from China, Japan, France among others depending on who's hosting the games.

Nearly every nation has swimmers and the Olympic heats prove that. It's just a vast gulf in level that even the best from Germany or Canada get eliminated early on too.
