You drew 0-0 (?) with Japan in a recent WC, so would they be a fair benchmark? We can then go on and compare Japan and Australia. That said, I reckon over two legs England would win 2-1 at home and we would win 1-0 at our home. We progress on away goals. :wink:
Bottom line - England still haven't beaten Australia in football regardless of match status this century. But we have beaten England.

When did we play Japan? I wouldn't call 2010 recent and not in a world cup either. Oh and we won without scoring a goal :wink:

Did some research, never played them in a competetive match. The draw was in 2004 - yeah recent :lol:

When have you played us in a competetive match?

When we lined up 11 of ours against 11 of yours (on your own patch mind you).

You didn't beat Japan (this century) and neither us (two comparable teams). Simples!

We beat Japan in 2010 - NEXT!

What tournament was that game in or was it a friendly and therefore a non competetive game?

My patch - how dare you! i want nothing to do with that shitty area.

Competitive (note the correct spelling for a start) means two teams are competing, no?

Did England sit back and deck chairs and allow us to score 3 goals? I don't think so, therefore I think they competed against us fair and square and lost.

We've beaten Japan this century too, as well as Germany (current world champions). So to me, comparable enough.

Have England lost this century to Qatar, Jordan, Oman, or Scotland.

All this talk about cricket has made me very tired.
Why is half a day at home more tiring than a week at work?

Not sure if they've played them, although from memory I think they recently beat the Jocks.

We beat Germany in actual game played for points.

We didn't sit back but we made 11 changes at half time and I think we even let people like David James play. then we brought on the youth side at half time. It does show that one side took it seriously.

The issue is, I know you're mucking around but some of your convict friends actually think competing in a friendly is comparable.

We do, we're just not very good. Could be worst though, at least we've won a major tournament - actually at least we've got to the semis of a major tournament. Why not make it the quarter finals.

At least you can admit that.

Won a major tournament... when was that again? Not really relevant anymore and can't hang your hat on that.

I'll admit that you guys have the better team on paper, but far from a superpower anymore.

Yet you laugh at me about saying something that happened this century! In 1966, I reckon we were still merging the ex-pats and balancing the ledger with more apt immigrants over here. :wink:

What England considers a failure, you consider your best tournament ever.

The tangent this topic has taken is a good reflection of just how boring this cricket world cup has been.

Any of the 4 teams left are in with a shout and 3 of them you would have picked from the start of even months ago. Only shocks so far are the way England and India played.

Good win last night. Only bug bear was the ridiculous review of the plum LBW of Finch.

The Windies are matching the run rate but running out of wickets.
I'm not playing anymore and I'm taking my ball and going home.

More ugly incidents involving cricketers.

Australia v England
Australia v India
Australia v Pakistan


Anyone notice a common denominator?
