I'm sure you'll do much better in the one day series. (she says chuckling to herself)

[sam]

thats a big joke, test matches are what we are supposidely good at... lol

[Simon]

I can't think of one team sport that we are actually good at!

[sam]

ummm... i would say that our football league is great but then again we just attract the best players in the world to play here, not a bad thing but not really great as just english players... oh well.

[Simon]

I suppose I was thinking more in terms of playing against other countries, and perhaps it was a little unfair, as we have won the Rugby and Cricket in recent years.  As I have said before, I do think the amount that we pay our footballers is obscene, given that they never win anything on the World or European stages.

[sam]

well our national team doesnt but our club teams are rather successful... and they do have a number of english players!

[Simon]

I'll get me coat... 

[Rodders]

I'll get yer coat too, Simon.  We should have stuck to playing Rounders.   

[mistybear]

... and they do have a number of english players!

They probably require a certain amount of english players so they can still claim that they are indeed english teams.

[sam]

well they need to have some many in their squad for european competition.. but dont need to play them...

Cultural sensitivities in different countries.
I thought that african american was politically correct until Whoopi Goldberg came out and said she hates it as she isn't african, she's american.

African American is the correct term

some here are getting tired of the races calling themselves their [racial nationality] american even though their familys have been born in this country for generations.So a lot now show their american pride by just calling themselves american which is what they are
