I can remember if its rugby or cricket you enjoyed slamming me about.....so....
World Cup - England stun Australia - Yahoo! Eurosport UK (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/06102007/58/world-cup-england-stun-australia.html)
All I can say is.... Mwahahaha!
-
Wow, this reminds me of the news article about that guy who... Um... Cut something off after his team beat England.
-
To be beaten by the 'Boks or the All-Blacks is one thing but this ...
*hangs his head in shame*
-
*come back after a couple of hours of trying to think of something to say to salvage some small scrap of national pride ... cannot think of anything ... goes away again sadly*
-
You come from a place that invented Castlemain XXXX and Fosters.....I mean that alone is a crime against humanity ;)
-
Erm....I kinda give them some small credit for Fosters to be honest.
But nah....come on....mock with me Jen!
Mwahahahaha!
-
*still trying to think of a retort or just ... something ... something to distract from the humiliation*
-
*offers Pseud a pink blanket to hide under till it all blows over*
-
Well....
I dont like kicking someone when they down, so I will just say bad luck Pseudo. Loosing in the quarters to England I never expected and never wished upon you guys. But then again, really.....did the Aussies forget how the game is played? Maybe there was just to much emotion with Gregan and Larkham.
And I guess you can feel slightly better seeing that the All Blacks came out and even played worse than the Aussies.
Guess it is up to the Boks to keep the southern hemisphere banner flying. But after the game today against Fidji I think someone has jinxed the Aussies, All Blacks and the Boks. We better find that dark magic wielder :)
-
*looks guilty and goes back to chasing the black cockerel*
-
Fun fact of the day we may make fosters but absolutely no clubs or places in the city where i live sell it off the tap :P nor in cans hehehe.
Pretty much our joke on the world send them beer which us aussies dont drink!.
-
*still trying to think of a retort or just ... something ... something to distract from the humiliation*
I think that disease is contagious as I'm suffering from the same set-back.
I guess all we can hope to look forward to is the Rugby League tour coming up. *starts biting his fingernails* Even thats not a certaintity and only a pale comparison for retribution.
-
*tries to think of a way to explain this to the Americans*
Imagine if you will the USA basketball Dream Team playing an English invitational squad made up of some blokes thrown together from the Fulham Men's Third Division ... and the Americans lose.
or,
The Red Sox, on a whim, decide to play a friendly baseball game against some elementary school kids ... and lose by one at the bottom of the ninth. [size=-3]Please excuse my suspect baseball terminology, the pitiful sum total of my baseball knowledge comes from watching Major League with Charlie Sheen[/size]
or,
The Pittsburgh Steelers, playing against some residents of the local nursing home ... in the Superbowl ........ well, you probably have the idea by now.
:(
-
But strangely, if you read the link Lord Cove put up it says......
"Defending World Champions England"
That must mean we beat you last time too....
-
Well DMOE, England won the world cup in 2003. And yes in that instance they did beat Australia with a snap drop from Johnny Wilkenson in extra time.
But here is the sad thing, since that day England has dropped to the sixth spot on the world ranking (I think) with Australia in position two. Now rankings is gained over all games played in the four years between world cups.
So to put it simply, it was one major upset. But that is how world cup competitions work. Any team, including England :) can win on a day.
-
So what your saying is....
England won the last World Cup....Got dire and yet still managed to kick Australia's butt this world cup?
Man...no wondered they are SO embarrassed by it ;)
-
Spot On DMOE, but dont say it to hard else Pseudo might start crying again *winks*
-
*snickers*
Well obviously the English team just slipped down to lull the Aussies into a false sense of security and therefore make their humiliation worse *nods sagely*
-
does this mean this whole thing is about soccer?
and your analogy would have to use the yankees, and the patriots
-
RUGBY!!!!
NOT soccer
-
Yes.... not soccer. Soccer if football.
And not the American version of football either.... where people get dressed up in like 20 pounds worth of protective gear just to play RUGBY.
;)

That's right, to play rugby you wear a box, a gum shield and tape your ears to your head to stop em getting ripped off and that's it

No wonder Aussies and Brits drink like they have a second stomach sewn in. It's to stop the pain! Sheeeesh.
-
Must be hard to run around in a box... or do they poke holes in the bottom for yer legs?
-
There are no boxes in Rugby, only in cricket, baseball and hockey to name a few. Mouth-guards are a must, some strap their ears, an occasional few wear headgear but most simply use old-fashion guts.
Anyway Pseudo, I think I've found something to get back at our mates in europe. The latest Ranking just came out and the Aussies are nestled at fifth in the world, just one above England.
"They may have come and taken our pride, but they'll never take......our Ranking!!!" (a poor attempt at William Wallace in Braveheart, whom incidently was played by another aussie!)
-
*gasps in mock horror*
Wow....ONE whole space above England? And....and....still we trounced them??
*smiles and skips merrily off into the sunset*
// hehe.... I'm saying no more on this. Next time we lose.... I am soooo gonna get it
-
Isn't a "box" what we Americans call a "cup"?

Well you said it!
-
Wow, rugby with no protection for the only thing that needs it (apart from the lip guard).
Now that's manly.
-
Polak doesn't need to worry too much, his opponent would want to be a bloody good aim to do him any damage. ;)
-
Oh, now that's both harsh and mean. xD You DON'T get a Thanks for that one. ;)

May i present exhibit B to the court. Exhibit A was the pink shirt if the court remembers. Exhibit B, referring to the comment above, incriminates Pseudo with 'mens rea', in other words the guilty mind.
No more questions.
-
Yeah....I was wondering how he knew to say that....I though there was very serious etiquette on not noticing these things! Well...unless....*eyes the pink shirt*
-
Among guys, yes, DMOE. You're right. In mixed company, however, it's commonplace to point out the shortcomings of another man. :)

-

The Aussie were defeated, and not even by the winner of the WorlCup?!?!

Oh...LordCove... atleast England reached them ;)
Ah.. and a last question, I found out England reached the second place in the WorldCup, would anyone mind telling me wich place the Aussies....?
