Greengrass 202 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have awoken this morning ready for my weekly Sunday sofa session and have stumbled accross the olympics on the BBC. I am astounded at the sheer lack of talent that this country produces. We are a POOR sporting nation. I for one will not be sucked in by fake , naieve and uneducated euphoria that comes from sporting occasions like this. I was the same at the Euro's .. i was the same at wimbledon. (the tour de france i couldnt care less about) . Why are we so poor at everything ?? This morning i have watched Bulgaria beat us at volleyball. ... Bulgaria !!! Our best player was called okulamfia kowaduku .. i mean . c'mon Andy Murray is supposed to be world number #4 ... he is out of he doubles already .. !! Mark Cavendish was a surefire gold .... he was outside the top 30 .. Who is our nearest challenge to Usain Bolt ???? FACE FACTS we are are poor sporting nation in every respect. I hear our cricket team are world number 1 , ... Strauss ( born s.africa) Pieterson (born s.africa) Trott (yep you guessed it , born s.africa Paneser (wears a turban to bowl) Golf .. World number 1 Luke Donald .. has lived in chicago since age 6 Boxing - Lennox lewis , Amir Khan , Prince naseem .. Ricky Hatton is the best real English boxer of recent times.. seated on his arse twice by Mayweather and pacquio and showed a complete lack of class. Hang on ... we just won a heat of the archery ... Get behind Team GB .. !! bollocks .. when did we become team GB ?? it sounds american for a kick off. I'll be glad when its over .. in the meantime i will support USA .. they always seem to do OK. x Name a better sporting nation of the same size ? Your post was so silly i cant even be bothered to debate it...................and i love sport ! I would think the Aussies would be considered a better all round sporting nation than us, and they have less than half our population jmo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,798 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just been watching the mens team gymnastics and it's been a real on the edge of your seat dog fight. Fighting Ukrain for Bronze and then a last minute cock up by the japs and we took Silver. Absolutely excellent result by our lads. Not a gold but a great result. Underachieving my hairy arse! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would think the Aussies would be considered a better all round sporting nation than us, and they have less than half our population jmo Fair comment but i dont agree........ What sports do they lead the world at ?......Do they host as many big international sporting events as us ?......Is sport run as well there as it is here ? Im sure theres many countries who run or take part in certain specific sporting events better than us......but Britain puts athletes/competitors out into so many different events,we host so many different events........Im sure there are odd sports that Australia would better us at.....but my guess would be over the whole world of sport we ( Britain ) would better them not only on achievement but on the general size of sport.

Greengrass 202 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Don,t know about leading the world but I reckon they are better than GB at swimming, rugby union , rugby league, maybe volleyball, netball, tennis, hockey,water polo, motorbike racing, there may be more and of course we are better than then at various other sports .

Rugby Union I'd say as the British Lions we are on par if not better than the aussies at this time and tennis well the Aussies highest ranked player is Bernard Tomic at number 27, Andy Murray is number 4. Rugby League a team from the super league as won the world club championship on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
