poms suck ozzies rule,
No one cares about Soccer what are you talking about mate?
Soccer (Football to us poms) is the most popular sport in the world.
Anyway, cause we are good, we are good at loads of sports its just Australia are better than us at most of them.
Here is a list we are good at, not in any type of order but what we are good at:
Sailing, - very good
Athletics, - very good

Boxing, - very good
Horse Racing, - very good
Field Hockey, - good

There are many more sports which England or Great Britain are good at, both in men's and women's but there just a few.
What do you all think then? Are we crap at sports? I think we are good at most sports we play but because we play and concentrate on so many we aren't as strong as what we should be maybe, ok, Australia might be good at a whole host of sports which they don't take seriously but Australia are known for their sport and sports fanatics, not justr watching iot but also taking part.
Sport, is actually Britain's main culture I think, I mean we invented most, and sport is a big part of British culture. Also, how an Earth can the United Kingdom be crap at sports when they finished 10th in the overall Summer Olympics? Also, the UK did averag in the Winter Olympics, or, should I say, better than normal, and also did Australia, with a bit of luck on the way, lol.
Oh, and England nearly always finish second in the Commonwealth Games so how can we be crap at sport?
