Yes! Lumping it up to the big guy is very rarely going to pay off in international football. Especially when our 6'7 striker isn't actually all that good in the air, and even when he did knock it down during our vital last match there was no one to play off it.

I never wanted McClaren as a manager, and I don't revel in someone losing their job but I'm not sad to see him go.

Oooooh harsh. Yea well it's pretty obvious why....considering you sent all the convicts out here, they didnt have anything better to do with their time so they started playing sports. Maybe you should let your criminals roam the countryside perhaps?

We do. Unfortunatly as modern sports require athletic and mostly drug free sports people the convicts are no good. I think it's more the fact Australia is mostly warm with good weather so people want to be outside where as in Britain it's too cold and wet all year round but not cold enough to be good at winter sports. we're good at darts though.

And snooker and other drinking related "sports".

Lol, Im pretty sure we are only good at the "drinking" part

There does seem to be some correlation between a country's climate and the sports they're good at.

I mean, Russia is very cold, so all the people there are sitting inside playing chess. Hence, there's tons of ace chess players from Russia.

Sure that is a correlation Sharingan ! Here in Portugal we have good weather, so we are very good in laying down on the beach taking sun.
I am sure we are the best in Europe in laying down and doing absolutely nothing.

I can do that every saturday in the summer (beach only at 5 minutes).
haaaaa, so goo, laying down, and do .... nothing.... just the sun, and the ocean sounds.... we stop only to get a beer ......

This is my favorite sport.... you can call it beaching... in Pt is (práiar)

We don't like to talk about that. We may as well admit we created America in that case.
