    If boxing (the only sport which i consistently follow) is anything to go by then Britain isnt Rubbish at all. Britain has produced more good boxers then the rest of Europe for sure.

    He plays for Scotland, they only put UK because England don't have any good tennis players. But when Andy Murray plays crap he is Scottish and not Uk :/
    You do know that is a joke, you humourless little bungler? I guess Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton play as British because Scotland sucks at F1, right?

    Well then, how did Great Britain come third in the medal table during this year's Olympics? Is it cause it was in London? Or is it simply because we don't give a **** about some Olympic sports (equestrian events, canoeing, rowing etc.)? Did our "representatives" in those sports win medals only cause they didn't 'feel the pressure' the same way the swimmers, cyclists and athletes did?

    The only sport I'm interested in is equestrian and we're good at that!
