England booted from World Cup

[Neeranam]

Only cricket match I saw was in Calcutta re 1992/3.

England sucked then too, losing to India 5-0.

 

I played the silly game once against Prince Edward, we offered the bowlers money of they could nut him. Bodyguards on the touch, but think it was for the Prince of Saudi.

At least we don't have a World Series that only involves two countries 🙂 

 

At least the NFL in the US is real football, though I stopped paying attention to it since the woke wave cropped up.😊

It's time the Poms invented a new game to get beaten at!

Was it not the Australians that came up with limited overs cricket ? 

Mr Packer I believe was the man behind the introduction of the reinvented  rules of cricket .

England are the only country in the world rated in the top five for Cricket, Football and Rugby. We therefore have a claim as the greatest sporting nation in the world, currently. 😛

I don't think you're giving the Aussies enough credit. They have a first class cricketing heritage.

I thought this was a thread about World Cup football which has significant participation in the US.

Soccer football, Rugby football, Cricket, ...perhaps England should go back beating the Germans at their national sport (Thatcher's best line) - or just go back to Jousting ?

You seem to conveniently be forgetting England beat the Aussies at football 3 weeks ago. That was pretty much with the England reserve team. If that makes England hopeless then what are the Aussies?

Soccer? Nobody cares about soccer in Australia. Minor sport. Its ranked about 7th. Soccer is no 1 in England.
