Yeah i think most aussies know this..but...Originally posted by JJ
Yeah, I tell those Sais bastards that all the time
Anyway I got one note for the Aussies, and that is that England is not Great Britain, it's just a quarter of it. Damn those common misconceptions.
The UK is the "mother country" of Australia, BUT England is the major part of that country we have a rivalry with. In some sports, the UK is represented as the UK, so we beat them as the UK. In others, the UK is represented as England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, in which case, our major rivalry is usually against England.
We understand that they are different (UK and England), BUT in sports where the UK is represented, then that is the "ashes" for that sport.

An email I got this morning. I thought I should share ... 
Soccer NZ today rejected a request from the FA for an England v NZ friendly to be played in the NZ winter, saying the game would likely be 'hardly worth it' following lowly England's recent loss to a second-string Australia side.
'We'd have to make entry to the game free to attract a crowd to see a low-calibre side like England, and the takings from the raffles and sausage-sizzle probably wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of the hot water for the showers, especially when you look at how many bloody players they have', said Soccer NZ Chairman Bill Franklin from his offices at the Poenamo Pub today.
'It's a bit of shame', added Franklin 'cause it looks like they've
got some decent young blokes in their team, and developing soccer nations like England need exposure to high-standard opponents like the Oceania teams'.
New Zealand All-Whites captain Harry Ngata echoed the Chairman's concerns, and although thought England could take heart from their recent result, doubted many of the NZ players could get time off from milking cows to play the game, and also noted that the game would probably be 'smack in the middle of lambing season'.
'We're probably better off just concentrating on our upcoming match with Tonga', Ngata said.
Meanwhile Australia coach Frank Farina has come under fire at home about the disappointing 3-1 result. He today dismissed criticism regarding his reluctance to pick 'proper Aussies' for the England match as 'bloody bullsh*t', instead claiming that the European-based players need a chance to prove themselves too.
Farina hit back at top NSL clubs, Wollongong Wolves and Brisbane
Stars who were reluctant to release their top players for the international claiming the match was 'farcical', and insisting that they were better off retaining their top players for the upcoming matches with league high-flyers, the Auckland-based Soccer KiNgZ. In some cases clubs were seeking multi-hundred dollar payouts to release the players for the match dubiously billed as an 'international', recognising that England is not really a proper country anyway, just a principality like Wales.
'I'm glad we didn't pull all the blokes from the NSL (National Soccer League) over there, it could have been an absolute bloody
embarrassment. We could have been lookin' at 6- or 8-nil if we'd had our Australia-based players, and that's no good for anyone' said Farina. 'Plus with the cost of the flights, it would have been a waste of bloody money.' Farina's frustration was evident, noting that England coach Sven Goran Eriksson wouldn't even buy him a beer after the match, despite his £2m a year pay packet. 'Swedish w*nker' Farina was heard to have uttered.
ROFLMAO

I wouldnt give ENgland/UK the Rugby either. We beat the British Lions which are meant to be better then England, and besides in that England test match, we had arrived in the coutnry about a week before it, played no warm up matches, it was at the end of a hard domestic campaign and during our offseason, we had half our players out injured or playing injured...AND still we lost by one point, but scored more tries then England...neway, we'll see after the world cup who's better at Rugby. As ive said before, the top northern teams never play the top southern teams, when BOTH are at their peaks...
Id also like to throw in some other sports that are world wide...Things like Swimming (at worlds etc), cycling (we were 2nd in the Road world championships with mcewen, UK werent near that), Track world championships (we topped themedal tally)...
Basically, yes australians really take their sport seriously, BUT if ur nation was as good as ours for the amount of people in it (we only have about 20Million), then im sure you would too...
Australia and then New Zealand are the best par captia sport nations in the world.

Ok then, i have my own theorys on why we Aussies exell in most of the Sporting Events that have been mentioned in this interesting thread. What i am asking is for any of you guys be you Aussie, Kiwi,British or infact from any part of the World to come forward and post your own ideas on just wHy the Aussies are Winners in the Sporting Arena.
Ok i will start off from the grass roots, all the Aussies here already know that on any given weekend '52 weeks per year' there are 1000's upon 1000's of young kids from say 5 years of age, and adults taking an active part in organised sporting activitys, you name it, it is happening somewhere out there on the parks, pools or in the ocean at the Surf Clubs.
This for a talented and dedicated few is the start of the long and hard road to the top, now can any one else continue from where i leave off here and add your own ideas. --
