The state of English Sport nowadays.

I've spent the last 3 Satuarday's cheering on a team of Welshmen at Rugby. I spent Sunday cheering on a Scotsman at Tennis. I'm currently watching and cheering on two South Africans face the Australia attack, with a third to follow shortly in the Ashes. At least they are all winning.
As I am trying to avoid doing real work I did a quick analysis of British gold medalists from last year's Olympics. English 24 Scots 6 Welsh 3 German 2 Somali 1 Channel Islander 1 USian 1 Manx 1 Belgian 1

That's something you Englishmen really aren't used to. ;P
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin
Though to be fair we don't call our domestic trophies "World Series". ;P with nobs on!!!

Hey! We invited Canada to the party, and we stole most of Cuba's good players. That's basically the whole world, right? ;P

I think it's safe to say that whichever team wins the World Series is the best baseball team in the world... Same with American football and basketball... Those are our sports. We created them, and we're the best at them. ;P (Disregarding the fact that a large chunk of the players in the MLB are from the Caribbean :rolleyes: )

His dismissal will give him time to send text messages about his fellow teammates. :rolleyes:

Baseball evolved from some games that were played in England, but baseball with modern rules was first played in the US in the mid-1800s.
