Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
You are so "gracious" when you win and you have the cheek to berate the Australians on their conduct when they do!
Who was that aimed at?

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
Lets be honest here, if Australia only won a single bronze medal you would still say how well they are doing and its a wonderful achievement for a country with 22 million blah blah blah. Its easy to make predictions about what is going to happen over the next few games because noone will remember. Nobody in a country obsessed with sport and winning could possible honestly be happy with this result.

Australia is in a much more respectable 10th place now.
I want to see them do well (just not quite as well as GB)

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
As I said I dont think you should be preaching about posting shite given your record 
Oh Chris come on now ... more shite .... the fact remains there is more than a single bronze and it's all on plan (except swimming). Lets not look into the future then and look at the past. GB should be embarressed by what it did in the 90's and early 2's. For a sports loving nation(s) like GB those results are inexcusable and it's about time GB is where it should be. Australia always has and is still punching well above its weight.

For a crap performance from Australias perspective, they've acheived what most Countries would be proud of. Probably needed this wake up call to concentrate on more than the swimming.
I can feel a recruitment drive to the West Indies coming on
Serious question... Why is it that West Indians can run so much faster than Africans ? Or Vice Versa Why is it that Africans can run much further than West Indians ? Aren't they the same people ?
