Had to check the name; looks a bit like Will Greenwood but it isn't. (for the uninitiated; he's a chap who won stuff playing rugby for England).

Rugby and Cricket aren't world sports. For the most part they are only played by ex-Empire countries so no huge deal in winning anything there really.

As for rowing, why not add snooker, dart and crown green bowling to the list?

Why not? Those are games where England's competitors win things.

Better than those footballists with their 48 years of failure.

When are you going to get your bloody act together and win something?

Footballers earn too much money therefore there is no incentive for them to play well. What is the point of exerting oneself when all you need is to retire after a one year contract?

Tennis players, formula one drivers and a few track and field athletes earn a tulipload of money too; it doesn't seem to stop them trying.

Ah so the England football team should follow suit and fill itself with foreigners who pretend to be "English"

They'd probably do better than this lot.

Haven't they won the prize for 'Most Expensive League In The World?'

[Mich the Tester]

2011 Six Nations, but it's besides the point.
