Australia and England have a fierce sporting rivalry. Unfortunately Sven didn't know this going in and agreed to a friendly against low ranked Australia.

The absolute nadir in Anglo Ozzie sporting rivalry (from the Pom perspective). At that point Oz boasted two male GS champions of very recent memory, were champions in both ruggerbugger codes (if only for another few months😊) and were riding the most wondrous crests of the most wondrous Test cricket waves (all time great team)😩

[@MachineThatCreates]

I think the Poms took Oz a bit easy that day not aware that it was probably the best Socceroo team ever. Add the fact that Australia actually tried and you get that sort of result. Once in a generation event but memorable nonetheless.🦘

Francis Jeffers, omg what an absolute legend.

[@pageois]

Everything you say is true, my magnificent Einstein. As was everything I said. The point I made, and which you assiduously avoided deconstructing, was that on the whole, Australia gets the better of England in sport. If you review the overall record, Australia comes out in front. Like our overall Ashes record of 123 to 103. And our 57% winning margin in Rugby. And we won't go near tennis. But well done with the World Cup. 1966, wasn't it? Good to see you've stopped living in the past.

This is probably the only contact sport England is better than us at
