They're having quite the poor showing at the Olympics.  I expected better of you, English.

You're getting heartily trounced in the total medal count by former colonies the USA and Australia (that's not even to mention the fact that the French are being you   ).  I'm not sure how you can face yourselves collectively in the mirror each morning.

Shape up!  You represent the (kind of) English speaking world!

we're not none for excelling at sports, and i dont think we pretend to either.

Isn't football kind of a big deal in England?  Plus, you're a tiny little island.  How can you not excel at swimming?  And have you not seen Chariots of Fire?

haha if you concider how small we are... i think you will find that we are actually the BEST performing country if you take into consideration the population to medals ratio.
wrong, Japan and South Korea better

I was disappointed too. There was this unintentionally hilarious guy on tv though. He effectively said "no it doesn't matter how hard you try! What matters is how many golds!!"
