Football: World Cup

Oh yeah tilt? You should try living in England.

*lol* ... well, when it goes bad (and when it goes good) we'll typical go something like "well, we're only 5 million people against those big countries" ... actually I've long thought we should make a final count in the olympics: medals/capita ... then we'd be in top

Sorry, I checked the stats. Denmark got about 1 medal per 700,000 population at the last olympics. New Zealeand beats that with 1 medal per 440,000. Australia got 1 medal per 430,000 population.

You certainly turn the tables on the USA though. 1 medal per 2.7 million

And as the Brits and Canadians will remember, at the commonwealth games Australia gets 1 medal per person

... thanks for that - when I said in top, I didn't nescecarily mean 1st .. 3rd is just fine ... just as long as we beat the big nations
