You should try living in Australia when England lose at (any) sport and see the abuse you would cop (even as a Sheila). That'd soon change your opinion. They're arrogant and abusive c*nts to the max about sport. England beating them in the Rugby WC Final was sweet; winning the Ashes would be even better.
One example; Simon Jones, one of Englands bowlers, injured himself sliding to field a ball and the pitch gave way and twisted his knee a different direction (cruciate ligament). It was excruciating to watch. While he was being stretchered from the field in Brisbane, one of the crowd shouted "Get up you weak Pommie bastard" and threw a Coke can at him.
Charming. They're bad losers and worse winners. Support them if you want but it shows a great deal of ignorance IMO.
