| Yes, I agree, those super Aussies should host the tournament again. Every game in 2008 was sold out 14 hours before tickets even went on sale. Thousands of desperate Aussies were swapping their homes just for a ticket!! Oh...wait a minute
Australia can balls. If their millions of super loyal fans want to watch the world cup they can either get on a plane, or they can get up at stupid o'clock like we had to last year.

You would believe that listening to the Aussies. Alot of the world cup crowds wernt that good at all, it was the big games that bumped up the average crowd, abit like Broncos games seem to bump up the average nrl weekly crowd. Lets face it, Sydney fans arent the best for turning up to a game.
League Freak, if the NRL is so good and as you say theres Origin down here and Aus probably are likely to win the next WC anyway, and there is no real drive for us to spend all that time and money. Then why the hell are you even bothered about the WC??? And if your not then theres no problems with taking it to England then is there. Like a lot of Aussies you only seem to be bothered if its down here….

I love your constructive posts especially when you back up your opinions.
What i said about the crowds was true and your the one who said the rest im just asking you, if thats what you think then why would you be bothered if the WC was in England???

Bondi_Warrior is a classic example of why the Australian Government should stop Poms from migrating to the land of plenty immediately

Im glad its in the UK and if run properly it could be a success, only time will tell if that happens. At least they now have over 4 years to plan for it.
Gives me a good excuse to head home for a month then
Tell me as you live in Australia - Do Australians actually have any redeeming qualities? Don't say you know a nice Australian - a good bloke - because I bet he has been living in West London for 15 years, and his parents were born in England. He doesn't count.
They live in a beautful country, with an excellent climate, a whole continent to explore. They have a reasonable standard of living, love a barbie and a beer, and a dip in their swimming pools.
They have no political enemies living on their borders, and would be the country most likely to survive and thrive after a nuclear holocaust.
So why are Aussies such w*nkers. Racist, ignorant, stupid - genetically thick, close-minded, sport obsessed, soap watching morons. With an Aussie, everthing has to come down to the lowest common denominator.
They single handedly humiliated, subjugated, and destroyed their indigenous peoples.
They offer nothing to the world in terms of technical or scientific advancement - not even a good sun bloc!!
They scream and cry and debate endlessely about the only thing that registers on their political radar, and thats immigration - convienently forgetting that they serve as one of the best examples of how mass immigration supplants and destroyed an indigenous culture - through numbers and force of arms alone in a few generations.
I hope that twenety million Vietnamese boat people manage to land in Australia. Payback's a bitch.
The cricket fans among us will remember when the England team had only been in Australia for three days, and already, their british born Sikh bowler was being abused for no other reason other then he is brown. The same happened to the South African black pace bowler Ntini, when he was there a few months earlier.
So I have had enough.
If you are Australian and reading this - F**K OFF! I hate all of you, without exception.
If you are not Australian and reading this , remember what I have said when you are meeting an Australian. Your intention should be soley to humiliate and embarrass. Remember it' s okay to say what you want because we all know the Aussies love to banter. If they get offended, remember to say fair dinkum and move on to your next target. If it helps refer to their geneology and the fact that they really are the spawn of scum. I know its a cliche, but trust me, it really works. Also, ask them how long they have been visiting the UK, and when they intend to return. If they have stayed here for longer then six months, ask to see their visa. Take down their details and report them to the authorities. Make them feel like an illegal immigrant.
The Yanks are bad enough - but at least they can say "we are the richest country in the world", or " we have the biggest army in the world" or " we run the world". They have some substance to base their arrogance and superiority. Aussies have nothing apart from a sun tan, a few swimmers and a cricket team. A nation, a people, a culture that amounts to nothing and never will.

Past experiences have shown that the Poms cant organise sporting events successfully.
Sporting events held in Britain are hopeless.
Granted, a lot of the time its due to the weather, this can't be helped.
But a lot of the time its down to sheer ineptitude

I think I might try and get a petition going to try and get all the major sporting events held anywhere other than England in future.
This country is simply not geared up to hosting anything more technical than a small village fete.
And since the British 'elf n safety' got involved the fete isn't even allowed to accept good old fashioned home made british cakes incase someones granny used nuts and someone develops an allergy.
This country is crazy.
Why on earth do I still live here
Deep breaths Barrington... deep Breaths....take the money....look to the future....its not forever..... deep breaths.......

Most Aussies have plenty of qualities, on average the people are more friendly down here, in fact the worst and the most narrow minded Aussies appear to all be on RLFANS. I know plenty of good Aussie people (Well I have to say that, the misses and all here family are Aussies). They do have an certain sporting arrogance but so do many nations, but the whinging in the media this week of the Swimming world championships has been a classic, as well as blaming everyone bar themselves for the Ashes test defeat. I was one of the few Poms wearing a blues jersey at origin and that made me a lot of friends, both NSW and Queensland. So I think the only Aussies im upsetting are on here.
You just need to meet the right Aussies mate…
