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

You Aussies certainly care about Rugby and I see in the current world rankings you just scrape above Fiji, Italy, Japan, Portugal and Georgia. That's some quality there.....

Not true. Rugby is also a minor sport. AFL and League are far more popular. You don't know much.

Biggest sports in Oz are horse racing, surfing, fishing, AFL, league,  cricket and golf.

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. 😛

Huh? Top five? Try 10th! … behind Holland, Bangladesh etc 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You do realize that we're currently the holders of the Cricket World Cup. For a few more days at least.  🙂

When have I ever said England was great or even good as a country or place to live? That is a pathetic comment. What has my travelling got to do with you? Concentrate on your own affairs. I don't know you, nor do I wish to, so what I get up to has no relevance to you.

As a place to live, yes, certainly. That is why I spend as much time in Thailand as possible.

Unfortunately your so-called “one off” tournament (THE WORLD CUP) determines who plays in some future major world tournaments and “top 5” England therefore will NOT qualify 🤣🤣🤣

Not true. Win the last two matches and we qualify for the Champions Trophy, whatever the hell that is. 

 

"England need to avoid finishing in the bottom two in order to confirm a Champions Trophy spot. They are currently last, worse off than Bangladesh on net run-rate as the only teams with just one win to their name.

 

They can potentially leapfrog them, and their opponents on Wednesday, the Netherlands (eighth, with four points), with a victory, while a further win in their final game against Pakistan should ensure a top-eight finish."

Cricket and Baseball not much different---understatement of the year.

Next you'll be telling us there is not much difference between AFL and NFL.

“Not true”? Wrong! Still very true! because your “if’s” haven’t happened yet. Pakistan will smash England so enjoy missing out on the Champions Trophy. 🤣🤣🤣 hahaha

Payback is a *itch!!! 😂
