How come England is good only at football...?

Question

... and even at football they suck.... if you're watching Olympics you can see that England (or GB) are missing from every team sport... for example...

Spain.... Basketball, Handball, Water polo

Germany... Basketball, Handball, Volleyball

Croatia.... Basketball, Handball, Water polo

France... Handball, Basketball

Russia.... Basketball, Handball

Serbia... Basketball, Water polo, Volleyball

Argentina.... Basketball,

Brazil.... Handball, Volleyball

Italy... Volleyball, Water polo

... where is England????

Answer 1

In terms of the Olympics, England are bloody awesome at rowing, sailing, cycling, boxing, hockey...were third on the medals table! Were hardly ONLY good at football!

Plus, were awesome at rugby & cricket. Our football premiership is easily the best. We've invented pretty much every team sport anyway. That's good enough for me.

Can i just add...handball?? what the ****? how does handball, basketball, volleyball and water polo constitute "every" team sport??

Answer 2

Ummmm

Haven't you seen us dominate the velodrome cycling. Especially our golds in the mens TEAM pursuit

or did you see us win gold in the mens coxless fours rowing, you know that great TEAM effort.

What about Hockey, we're good at that, that's a TEAM sport.

Our Gold in the Yingling class sailing. That event made up of a CREW of three people.

Oh, and we're reigning 4x100 mens relay Olympic champions

......May I add that we're leading ALL those nations you listed in the medals table.

and it's a bit weak including handball and water polo, those are really obscure sports only popular in select parts of the world.

Answer 3

Handball? lol What about rugby? England will thrash all of those countries

at rugby and that's a proper sport. I'm Welsh so I don't defend England that often but you're talking shite  

Answer 4

We're too busy making the best sweets in the world...cheers

Answer 5

OK

you been watching the Olympics for too long go outside to the sunlight

Answer 6

Do your research please MJ, look at the cycling- we run the velodrome! We have set World Records in the HEATS, what about the sailing and also the rowing, we still rule the waves. Once again, where are croatia?!

Oh and c**p avatar mate lol

Answer 7

Did you watch the cycling?

Answer 8

cricket, rugby, Cycling, rowing, sailing. the latter 3 are all in the Olympics which means were on par with all the team, and these take more of a team effort than the otheres AND we've won at least one gold in each of them for the team ones were as you hasketball down 7 times, surely coming 7th isn't good.?

Answer 9

Cyclism.

Answer 10

you havn't been watching the dressage.. *****

Answer 11

For starters.. we did well at those just we didn't make it through, also... the Olympics isn't just about teams, its about individual effort and if you look at cycling, boxing and swimming, theres a bloody good lot of golds in that!

Answer 12

England is only ****  

Answer 13

tennis, cricket?

Answer 14

I think if you look at the size of England compared to USA, China, Australia then look at the medal table you will see that acre for acre we do OK! And if you compare the medal table you will see that we are in front of most of the countries you mention, so what is your point??

I think after you look at the medal tally now you must agree that for a small country we have done a great job, I think its our all time best.

WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY!!!

Answer 15

Maradona jnr this is your mum http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/d...

Answer 16

I think we overrate ourselves in football... but in these olympics We are doing well!

Answer 17

how come then that only china and the u.s.a are ahead of them in the medal table......

Answer 18

England don't compete at the olympics, hence you haven't seen them.  Great Britain on the other hand are currently third in the medal table with only USA (pop 250mil) and China (pop 1bil+) above them, not a bad result for a couple of islands the size of a thumb tack...

Answer 19

What about Sailing, Rowing, Cycling ?

Answer 20

"Sportist" You have'nt got a s****. Doo have you???

Answer 21

polishing the boots,,,?

Answer 22

i thought they were good at cricket as well?????????......

Answer 23

english suck my d1ck!

Answer 24

how can they only be good at football but suck at it at the same time?

Answer 25

Yeah and we are above all those countries in the medal table. Who rally gives a toss about those fringe games anyhow.  

Answer 26

Sailing, rowing, cycling, that's where we are. We're 3rd in the medals table and we're only an island, we must be good at something.

Answer 27

I thought England was coming 3rd on the tally though

Answer 28

England is good at football???

Have you never heard of Brazil, Spain, Italy, France....

They are OK at football, but not the best

Answer 29

Were good at FormulaOne, well Lewis Hamilton is.

Answer 30
