[the truth]

british sport is on a crest of a wave...the athletes are world class heroes...the cricketers are smashing the aussies, the british lions downed Australia, England smashed the all blacks, murray won Wimbledon, the Olympics, us open, Justin rose won the us open, carl froch marches on, etc etc etc

then there is football

lets face it all home nations are useless

1 cup win in 100+ years only 1 major final

the scots are useless ive seen more attacking threat from dexter in big brother....they scrape through to the odd tournament but we all fall asleep when they play

the northern irish are even worse.....really, they just cant compete....time for an all Ireland team?

the welsh, oh dear, 50 odd years since a world cup quarter final
they have the odd genius like rush, bale, giggs sparky hughes....but overall its endless failure

then our English lads, on half a million to a million pound s amonth are useless too
yes we qualify because we have lots of clubs and money and population
then we call ourselves world class then we lose to some barely known European island like Portugal, Sweden, Romania

its pathetic really how much money we pump in and how much hype and headlines when in the end we promise the earth and couldn't deliver pizza

worse still we get the odd genius like letissier don't give him a chance, john barnes wasted, hoddle wasted, gazza too much hype and hysteria, Michael owen seemed to crack under the spotlight eventually, beckham slow one footed overhyped overrated....

why are we do overhyped overpaid and overrated?
