On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_sport there are some errors in my opinion against soccer or football association. In fact I am sure that football in RUSSIA is more popular than ice hockey and not at same level ( in the table about hockey there is Russia and in the table about soccer there isn't Russia !!! ).
Other imprecisions are that in AUSTRALIA section among many sports there isn't a reference to soccer, In SOUTH KOREA is said that football is the number one sport, but in the table below South Korea is in the baseball section. In my opinion there are also other errors : In SOUTH AFRICA soccer is most popular than rugby ( not at same level ) , in CHINA is more important than ping pong and in INDIA and BANGLADESH it is surely the second sport !!!!!
Can some lover of soccer to rectify these errors on this important page of Wikipedia ?
Thank you.

IMO, I think this is a stupid article in Wikipedia cause it's solely based on opinion, even if for some countries, it's really obvious. The only way a national sport should be listed in that article is if the nation's government has designated a sport as the national sport.
