Yeah Javelin requires more space and is potentially more dangerous I guess, so a lot high schools don't have it.

No, Flushing Meadows is the area where the U.S. Tennis Center is located and where the tournament is played. It's not the tournament itself.

Lexxie I suppose it is another illustration of the curious sporting divide between mainland North America and the rest of the world.

I expect, like me, many of those who could name footballers far less famous than Messi and Ronaldo drew a bit of a blank on basketball positions and quarterbacks. Though I did manage to guess Centre from junior school netball!

Why on earth would you be surprised that a site predominantly filled with Americans knows the most famous and successful football quarterback ever? Of course Americans know Tom Brady more than Messi or Ronaldo. Most Americans just aren't into soccer at all. And we don't care that you guys call it football, really, we don't.
