Why these countries?
为什么是这些国家 ?
I like to think of this as the "Paradise Island update" :) There is no exact
science in this, but these are leagues that are spread out geographically and
culturally - we have Arab influences, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and
American - so it offers a cross section of the world in a way.
我喜欢称这是“天堂岛屿的升级(Paradise Island update)”，
目前没有精准的科学报告做佐证，但是这些联赛是“地理上”及“文化上”可行的扩展，
HT现在有“阿拉伯文”、“法文”、“葡萄牙文”、“西班牙文”、
以及“英文”的影响力，这也提供了世界上跨文化、跨区域的交流平台。
It may be strange to overlook some countries that have much larger
populations, Like Ethiopia or Congo, but when we add them I'd like to do some
sort of marketing as well. This I see more as a release for the existing
community, and as a start signal for a more expansive approach to leagues and
the World Cup.
跳过一些人口较多的国家，例如“埃塞俄比亚”、“刚果”，可能有些奇怪，
但是当要新增联赛时，我们同时会对候选国家做行销分析。
这样的分析是对现存社区的一种讯号释出，以及宣告开始扩展联赛、世界杯的讯号。
