# :D
Flintoff and Vaugne were shit. Both out for 0 after 3 balls.

So much for the so called England superstars :(

# you're kidding?
i despair of england and sport now. apart from rugby of course

# Christ are you still crapping on about the last great english sporting victory?

# bitterness foisted on to anyone who'll read it?

# It's not bitter, spectator sport just is fairly pointless.
Well actually I'll qualify that statement. Getting worked up and competitive over the activities of people you have no relation with and which you had no role in their success or defeat, is the most pointless thing ever.

Sports themselves are good though, especially ones with swords and fighting.

# last summer was hardly long ago
i placed a 60/1 bet that england would qualify for the finals

# Ah I see!
They lost to SA though...

# still got to the final, which no one expected
especially no one expected us to beat the wallabies or the all blacks
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 2:39, archived)
# I was surprised the wallabies lasted that long.
pathetic showing from them. All Blacks, well they always choke somewhere.

# thats why i was impressed with england, the boys came from absolutly nowhere in the first round to just keep powering through
very proud of them

# Well to be fair
Flintoff has been out of it for a while with various injuries, but I would have expected a bit more from Vaugne. Gough bowled well for Yorkshire though.

# Judging by the recent performance of England players in the County 20/20 games
I would say so.

# christ we're rubbish.
we should get back to the sport britain was best at: invading people

# :D
*supports this argument*

Mind you, we dont seem to have done vary well out in the middle east.

# thats because we're not wearing pith helmets and bright redcoats.
there is a distinct correlation between the silliness of british uniforms and military success
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 2:37, archived)
# Except for World War Two, in which the British army had the least silly of uniforms.
Germans had the most showy and stupid looking balloon trousers tucked into boots and they lost.

I'm more inclined to believe Rimmer's shortest haircut wins hypothesis.

# Nonsence!
It is quite clearly the army that drinks the most tea that is superior.

# nonsense. ghandi was bald.
and i said british uniforms. the uniform in WWII was fairly practical and the victory wasn't glorious. red jacket and a hat like an alabaster mono-tit? an empire the sun never set on

# That and the self realisation of an imposing and autocratic empire in a world that was finally coming to terms with the real cost of constant war.

# say what you like bout the empire
