Are the Aussies the worst sportsmen in the world?!!?

Question

Now don't get me wrong the Aussies aree pretty good at some sports... But after the rugby match last week they've been sooo bitter in defeat! Makin enquiries into why they lost.. I can answer, becoz we bested ya!! An yet wen you see rugby Q's on here like "is england gunna win the world cup" Aussies are like " England will lose to South Africa, thats all there is to that." <<<< and thats a real example... Now you'd think they'd rather we won cos then at least they got BEATEN by a team who went on to win rather than lose... An if they're so d**n good an we're so d**n bad why have we knocked you outta two world cups in a row?! Bet you Aussies love Jonny Wilko! He's costed ya two world cups now!

Answer 1

No, they are just like any other country, as in there are some that get on a pc and whinge about losing, or as you are doing, rubbing it in when they win. It&#039;s freedom of speech, you have to take the good with the bad.

Answer 2

You reckon they are bad when thay lose?  You should see them when they win.  When they win, the skips are relentless, falling over themselves; full of praise and patting themselves on the back etc.  I read an article in the Daily Telegraph (Sydney) with the head line &quot;Why are we so good?&quot;

Bull s**t eh?

Answer 3

Oh, I think we the argies are worse.. but not in rugby, because its not mainstream here. But we can kill each other over a soccer quarrel.

Answer 4

They did well in the moto gp,Stoner finished first.

Answer 5

Couldnt have said it better myself Mancloud, however I will add that the Aussies are poor losers.  I lived there for 12 years.  However the English crowing is even more nauseating.  Now the French handle defeat for the most part, with dignity and respect to the winning side.  We could all learn a thing or two from them.

Answer 6

I&#039;ve been listening to Aussie legend David Campese and he was saying for 3 years that the Aussies would get hammered by a good pack.  He was slaughtered for it in Oz (the team wouldn&#039;t even speak to him), despite only giving an honest opinion of something that was eventually proven to be true.  Sometimes it&#039;s hard for people to accept the truth.

Answer 7

What a load of c**p. i think your over reacting. Just bcuz we wana c England lose, we r bad sportsman? Use played better then us and deserved 2 go threw, congrats

We can excepted defeat, it just makes it hard 2 knowing we got knocked out by 1 of the worse teams in da comp. And im sure the the rest of the world nows SF is gona flog yas, and i cant wait till they do.

Like loti tuqiri said before the qfinal. Quote: England has only got 1 world class back, and that is Jason Robinson. I coulded agree more. Johnny Wilkinson, wats his kicking percentage like 65% at best so far this tourney pathetic. The only reason he scores all Englands points is because England cant score a try and Johnny is the only 1 that takes all the kicks. He hasent one a game 4 England yet

Answer 8

The Aussies just cant handle loosing, their underlying inferiority bubbles out, but they&#039;ll get use to it.

So where are the wingin-poms now? On top actually old sport!

Answer 9

its all about national pride, at the moment there pride is dented like the Welsh, the Irish, and the All Blacks, teams will point the finger in all directions they blame the players the management the coaches and the opposition, they will even point there fingers back to the good times and find something small to complain about then.....the Aussies can feel upset they were beaten by the under-dog, it was a great performance by the English pack and Johnny again and its the simple rules of rugby: the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Mortlock had his chance to bring Australia back into the game and he missed it, if he had hit it it would have been a different story, I respect that he came out trying to shoulder the blame but its more the supporters that are the poor losers, the players may not like the idea of coming home early but they get over it. George Gregan as always was a true sportsman his amazing career ended on a bad note and he smiled and got on with it,

If you want to remember the Aussies as bad sportsmen think back to the 2003 final, when the whistle went and England won the first thing that Gregan (the captain back then) did was went over to Will Greenwood gave him a little wink and a smile and said congradulations.......that is a true sportsman,

on the other hand you got that tosser Dunning!!!

Answer 10

I completely agree

Answer 11

Hey Hotsurfi I&#039;d love to hear your explanation on how England are &#039;one of the worst teams in the competition&#039; when they made the final, which kind of indicates to me that they are at worst, in the top two of the competition.  Also i beg to differ, if you hate a team enough to want them to lose (as opposed to wanting your own team to win) then that is clearly bad sportsmanship - and actually I haven&#039;t heard any of this sort of cr*p from the Australian players themselves.  England have been awful to watch and difficult to support over the last few years but they are making up for it now to be sure!!

Answer 12

They may be the worst sportsmen in the world but...at least they speak better English than you do.

Answer 13

I don&#039;t think so!
