As for the nations grouping thing, our government is wank. If I had my way we'd be England, nothing against the scots or welsh but it's just the way it should be. Got nothing to do with giving us an advantage :|
We can't be that shit at soccer (football), we drew with England in the fifa worldcup in South Africa and were on the same amount of points as England when in the same group. And soccer is'nt even our national sport. I know it's Englands and you drew with us. How funny is that. It's a very new sport here but it's growing and we have a lot of American born players with South American heritage that can play. If you guys were that good you should have flogged us 5 nil.
Actually England have only won the fifa world cup once and it was over 40 years ago. Quite funny considering you have a premier league. And not very impressive when you look at how much money is in the sport there.
As for cricket, we've had our best baseball players trying cricket on youtube and they find it very easy. The cricket bat is actually a lot bigger than a baseball bat so the ball is much easier to hit. If we had a cricket team using our baseballers we'd probably win the world cup for cricket. Except we find cricket to easy slow and plain boring. So there is no point.
I've seen your cricket matches on cable and most of the time the stadiums are half empty. Must be a good game when only half turns up. You never get that with a major league game. We love our sport. Even have hot cheerleaders, to add to the entertainment.
England is shite, simple. We're always 'the team to look out for' but there's no denying it, were a shit team. As for the premier league, 99% of premier league players aren't from England. I don't follow football that much but this is what I can blatantly see when I DO watch it.

Actually, it's more like 70%. England definitely under-perform in the sport thanks to it being run by dinosaurs, but that was never the issue. The point of contention was the US pwning England at global sports, which in this one at least they clearly don't.

What amuses me is that your football players have to dress up in pads and helmets because they are scared of getting injured. If one of our football players (from any of the three australian football codes) tried that they would be laughed out of the team and told to play with the girls. Hell, our womens teams wear less protection that your football players. Absolute joke.

Imagine New Zealand Rugby team against any American Football team haha. They'd crap bricks when they'd hear the Hanika (or whatever it's called). It has the fiercest of Rugby teams quaking in their boots (apart from the Welsh team, recently - that was an epic stand-off. I was screaming at the TV in amazement lol)

have to agree with this haha. after watching rugby, I realized that our football players are pretty much some of the biggest pussies out there. Also I believe that there are more serious injuries in american football than there are in rugby. I like to watch american football every now and then, but I'm starting to get more and more into watching rugby, preferably rugby 7s

Dunno if you will like it, but watch a bit of afl. It's a bit like ice hockey without sticks, skates and padding. More or less anything goes while the ball is in play.
One of the funny rules in afl is when you are on the ground you have to get rid of the ball. On player had a penalty against him because he didn't let go of the ball when he was knocked out cold. Play then continued.

In fairness though, Im fond of some American Football. You do get colossal hits, and some of the runs and shit that players pull is unreal. Saw on youtube players corksrewing over players to avoid tackles - and one player even did a flip over one before going the final yards for a touchdown. WTF!

That's because of all the body armour they have on. And that guy who did the flip was slim compared to his peers.
