9 year old girls hey.......no wonder the USA women's football team is ranked no 1.

Over here Gridiron is a sport for the fat kids and the totally unsporting kids. They only have to exert themselves for 10 seconds then take a break for a few minutes.
Ever wondered why no other country in the world plays gridiron. Answer.....most countries don't have as many obese inactive people.
Over here in Oz we like to play sports that take ...[text shortened]... of sweat.

Why are grid iron fans obsessed with young school girls?
Creepy or what?

What are you going to do with yourself for 3 hours 50 minutes of the 4 hours it takes to play the stupid game other than stuff as many corn dogs as you can into you. Cheer girls, take a bow......ohhh...but not too close to Mr Eladar.....stay well clear of him if you're going to bow.

America has been gripped in the "ice age" for years now. It's taken over from the "cocaine age".
It's common knowledge that the greatest sporting country in the world per capita is Australia or New Zealand. The difference between sport in my country and in yours is that we are clean. Go you Aussies !!!
Have a nice day !!!!!

You got a link that confirms this? I would be interested to know if it can be substantiated - the only information that I can find is based on the Olympics.
Not having a 'go', just genuinely interested.

Here's just a few of them

If you want some more let me know. I'll post them up for you.
With the Commonwealth Games coming up soon I was just taking a squiz at the all time medals table. Even though we have under half your population we have won almost 200 gold medals than your lot.
I'm glad your lot won the last games as after the Aussies had won 6 in a row it was becoming quite monotonous. We should win these games quite easily though but I hope your boys and girls can give us a bit of competition.
Australia.......what a country. Wouldn't swap it for anywhere.

I looked up the 'top tens' one, and it was just an arbitrary list of sporting nations put in some random order, with a writer extolling each of their 'choices'. Sadly lacking in facts.
Guess it is quite a hard fact to clarify, with different countries having different sporting focus.
Oz v big on cricket and rugby league, neither of which (sadly, no sarcasm meant there) are not high profile sports on the WORLD stage.
I thought Oz were generally recognised to have performed poorly at recent Olympics? Maybe the Commonwealth Games will be a success for you!
PS POB??? What's that?
Originally posted by @blood-on-the-tracksYes we're kinda in that place that your lot were in in 2000 where the Aussies finished 4th and Great britain (4 counties combined and a population almost 3 times that of Australia) finished 10th.

We were in a bit of a down but as you say success in the Commonwealth Games will change our fortunes. Yes, winners of 6 out of the last 7 Commonwealth Games should answer your question. 7 of 8 soon.
You guys are pretty good at darts and snooker. You have us covered there.
POB.......your kickname.....pimple on bum

Ah, that nickname used by......, well, just you, actually. Sad.
Anyway, asked the question in good nature, shame you couldn't respond in the same way.
No link to tables with actual figures, Champ?
Leave you to it
I got your nickname from one of your mates. Apparently all your friends call you that. Where did you think I got it from.
Ashes up next. Aussies looking like winning 5-0. Happy days !!!!
So what did you think of the Wallabies knocking off the almost unbeatable All Blacks ? Mighty performance in anyone's books.

You reckon losing a Test vs Bangladesh is setting you up for a 5-0 in the Ashes? Thought that was the nadir, total humiliation? Or is that just when it happens to England?
A more informative form guide might be SA. They visited you less than a year ago, won 2-1. Visited us in the Summer, lost 3-1.
NZ v Oz? Hadn't the whole thing already been decided, with NZ again romping home? Did they give lots of 3rd teamers caps in a dead game? Want to look back at some scores earlier in the competition when the tournament was still alive?
And the Lions already know what it is like to win in NZ. Did it it in the Summer in a very much alive game.
Originally posted by @blood-on-the-tracksThe lions are a team of 4 top tier rugby countries countries combined. The best players from England Scotland Wales and Ireland. Theoretically they should beat any team. But they don't. I believe England beat the All Blacks........... just before Noah sailed his ark.

I am a citizen of the UK. See my flag.
We haven't played All Blacks as England a lot recently. They are an awesome team who are clearly world number 1. You say you are #3? Hmmmm. Wonder who #2 might be?
I suspect a more accurate comparison would be NZs 54-34 win in Oz earlier this year, or last seasons 42-8 drubbing, also in Oz. Ouch!
Originally posted by @blood-on-the-tracksYou're only as good as your last game........and gaw blimey me matey.....we knocked off the no 1's. Yes your lot are no. 2's. Certainly smell that way for sure.

This from the sports 'expert' who declared 'history is everything'. Can dig that quote out if you want further humiliation.
Just to win a v easy argument, what was all that garbage about the Commonwealth Games then, Champ?
You have just torpedoed all of your meticulous research. You admit we outperformed you in the last Games.
Only as good as your last (Commonwealth) game(s)
