    They got one more game to play but they can't overtake the other teams on points even if they win.

    And on behalf of all Welesh and Scottish people: it's the England team, not Britain ;-)

    but yeah, we're going home (England, that is)

    They suck at that too, what in the hell do they teach over there? certainly don't seem to put any emphasis on world sports anymore

    At least they were there. My team South Africa didn't even make it to the World Cup.

    unfortunately, not good enough in many of these sports any more. not really a football fan myself, I'm more into Rugby and frequently get my heart broken by the teams (England and Scotland) I follow performances', particularly when they're abroad.

    not as good as we used to be at all. makes me sad. I'm sure the football fans feel the same about our current performance in this world cup.

    well, we don't always do so badly:

    Cycling and rowing are areas where we typically do well, for instance...

    we do reasonably well at the athletics and I think our golfers aren't too bad either at the moment. :smile:

    We have the best football teams in the world, unfortunately half the players in those teams don't qualify as English for the England team, which is hilarious. Consequently the actual England team doesn't consist of most of the "best players" that are normally in the teams over here.

    Disapointing world cup but the team is a transitional one at the moment. Fingers crossed for the future.

    Reminds me of that great Scottish song by the Waterboys - Old England is Dying . Always next time around though and it's a young team. I wish we had had a reason to call out the Tartan Army...
