A lot of the stuff England is really known for (Shakespeare, explorers, the people in America and Australia), really isn't such a good thing.
Yes, sports athletes do get paid millions. But they pay taxes too. And that's a hell lot of tax, good for the economy and stuff. So, yes, if your country wins something, you get a few cents off your next major foreign purchase.
And yeah, there's that whole deal about sports making people healthy. I mean, just look at the pics of most klikers. Most klikers don't do sports so they're fatter and uglier than most rugby players. Personally, the only sport I really do is jog a few kilometres every few days, but at least it works. I still say that kliking is as pointless as playing rugby.
Oh, and athletes work a LOT harder than most of us. If sports didn't exist, people would still sit around watching other things, like porn or executions. At least with sports, they're slightly stronger and healthier and become better slave labor.
I'm a bit suprised that the people who get paid to 'kick a ball into a net' aren't really that good at their job, though. 90 minutes and most of them hardly ever get more than 5 balls in, unless it was a Brazil vs Malaysia match or something.

Well at least our (UK) country doesn't have a ranting, raving, supposed crocodile hunter who thinks "ITS A WHOPPA". Sometimes we don't want Australias exports

"strueth, that one's a big un."
freud said that sport is a necessary vent for human anger, which would otherwise just build up inside us and exploded in a war or something (which it did, according to him... WW1 was a consequence of us bottling up our rage (sayeth freud))
so meh.
btw, great britain is the greatest country in the world, but i don't need to say it because you secretly ALREADY KNOW IT and you're just JEALOUS.
Muz: Most klikers don't do sports so they're fatter and uglier than most rugby players.
Muz, why do you keep thinking most klikkers are fat, ugly geeks with no time for anything else other than klikking. It's bloody annoying. You make me look like a fat and ugly geek. Which I'm not... I assure you. Alot of bo... girls think I'm quite cute, yeah. Cute.
But going back on topic, I don't like reading posts on people ranting how gay England is. Just because America and Australia each take up nearly quarter of the globe, (don't quote me on Geography, I've always been crap at it) doesn't mean you can take the piss out of our small country. We're a strong country at that. Your great ancestors were British, so that means we have a lil' British in all of us. Now bugger off.
Oh and Ashman is just annoyed because we beat his country! HAHAHAHA! But I personally didn't give a flying fuck about beating Australia, I've never liked rugby. If we won the Proper World Cup, (the one where they get paid to kick a ball into the net ), then I'd be pleased.
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
trust me CIRCY, I dont think Ive ever met an australian who actually likes the crocodile hunter either. He makes us all look like a bunch of flaming, redneck, bloody cockatoos (which we arent).
And about the rugby-whatever-world cup, I couldnt give a goanna. the only football for me is the one where you actually use your FEET!(otherwise known as soccer).
Sport is not a waste of time, however I dont agree about how much money and attention it gets.
I just cant forget that time Australia beat England in real football...

'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
My heart...she is broken! I felt it break when Jonny Wilkinson kicked that last drop goal...and then took my 4th shot of absinth for the night and yelled out profanities at the television and anything remotely related to Pommies for the next few hours!
But what a game though eh? I've gotta say, England did play the better game. They had very good tactics I felt, and they used their "weapon" in Jonny very well. But the Aussies hung on and made a match out of it. I was loving it...extra time...first time i've ever seen it in a union match.
Kinda predictable...Jonny Wilkinson pretty much kicked England to World Cup victory. He should get knighted for being the only Pom able to lead England to victory over the Aussies!
...and all I have to say now is...
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing matlida with me
Waltzing matilda
Waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me!
CARN AUSSIE CARN!!!
PS: STFU those who don't like sport and go and surf some one handed websites!

Yeah, the Pommy forwards did a good job of running the ball, and controlled the scrums and mauls very well I reckon. Not to mention their great defense work. Almost surprising that didn't win by a larger margin, but the Aussies did have some quality in their defense. I feel they lost it a fair bit near the end of the match though, and their attack was a bit below what was seen in the match where they brutalised the Kiwis

I agree that the sooner the royal family is de-royaled at least, the better. I hate how everyone thinks that us Brits are up the royal family's arses. I never thought it right, just beacuse of how someone was born into a certain family, they get to live in luxury at everyone else's expense.
Remember the medieval times? Well, hypothetically anyway? The king would go to was with the knights etc? Well there's none of that now is there? We got Prince Charles standing there with thousdands of medals on his jacket that he never even earned.
Bloody royals.
Anyway, it's about time England won something, even though I hate everything this country stands for, especially football. Don't get me started on football.
