Only problem with this article is that Konta is an Aussie with Hungarian parents.

My point is not really about tennis, but the basic fact that every, and I mean every British sportsperson will bottle it in a big game.

Weren't there four English teams in the European finals this season?

Judd Trump
Lewis Hamilton
Geraint Thomas
... are all winners too.

Konta did let a chance slip though to be fair.

Come on, we are British we are not supposed to criticise Konta?

She's done really well to get this

Yeah when have the British ever been the Champion of anything?

Oh wait... in every sport going.

You really do write some utter bollox.

So let's see who is next shall we.

Next up, Women's World Cup. Who wan'ts to bet against an English bottle job ?? Nah didn't think so.

Scenario....cruise through the group matches,get the press / pundits all optimistic then fall apart against the first decent team they come up against. Seen it so many times in tournament play from this country.

Bookmark this post and let's see.

Blame the Scots for that. The England and Wales cricket board do just fine. Mostly.

The 'and Wales' part is forgotten mostly! I really don't know why Wales doesn't have its own team.

Because the game requires 11 players I think.

Fair play!

I'd just rather they dropped the pretence. If there was a Wales XI I think I'd be in the running as I was my home town's youth captain back in the day!

It's a bit weird that they dont even put the W in the acronym. Basically I think it allows us to pick up Australian and S. African players who had a Welsh nan.

Henderson, Milner Trent and Robertson are trying to get through on the phone.
