    Yes. Two. I think we came in third place a couple years as well.



    EDIT: My good friend Louis proves the point for me. You guys are in the 44th place per capita. If someone takes into consideration GDP and how much is spent in sports, you're perilously close to being relegated :D

    Okay, can we zip up and put away the tape measures?

    The true measure will take place on the football/soccer field. Everything else is just contributing to global warming.

    Nope, trust me, US haven't won a single world cup in football/soccer ever. You were 3rd placed once, 1930 I believe.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

    In fact, I was even getting a bit worked up at Sarmatian being such a dreadfully conservative chauvinist, completely obvlivious of knowing that women play excellent football.

    Very nice Louis, but if those are the kinds of TV shots we can expect in the men's game, I'm NOT watching.

    Heck, even American lingerie football is better than yours Not to mention American football women are tougher than European football men.

    Two world cups? Not really, no.

    I think I need to reconsider my stance on american football.

    Now it's a chauvinistic, sexist and sinful display of flesh for the perverted minds.

    Look soccer is a very beautiful game and worth looking at for sure but Australia is 10 times more likely to beat England than the Yanks* are. Not because we're better than the Yanks, but because of our "special relationship".

    OK it may have slipped recently with the abysmal ashes losses (2-3 or 1-2 is far more embarrassing for us than 5-0 is for them) and there was some World Cup Rugby hiccup a few years ago but it was just that, a hiccup.

    There's something that happens to a Pom when he meets an Aussie on the pitch: his balls shrink and he loses the will to live. If we were ever lucky enough to fake it through to the last couple of rounds and meet the Poms this time then every man jack of them would be sweating bullets.

    Warnie and McGrath could be specialist sledging** coaches.

    hehehe Academy of Sport (professional amateurs), and our guys (prolly) use as many drugs as the Americans too!

    We haven't been around too long and we haven't won many wars (we generally come along for our allies sakes and cop a beating) so we make up for it with weiner-strengthening sports wins. In real sports like hockey and swimming.

    * All citizens of the USA are Yanks to us, even the Texans because the Yankees won the war.

    **Sledging is seriously unsportsmanlike personal abuse that the rather bitchy and meanspirited Aussie cricket team is infamous for. Bunch of thinskinned prima donnas, all they are good for is beating the Poms.

    I've never seen you post before, but you're poised to take over from STFS in awesomeness.
