Most of England’s young panthers that won the U20 world cup are stolen from other countries. Konta stolen, Mo Farah stolen. Best footballer Welsh, best tennis player is Scottish. England are good at sports no one else plays like Cricket and Rugdby.

Isn't Froome South African?

Kenyan

His Dads english. Hus mum's parents are English but born and grew up in Kenya

Froome....not born here,never lived here,now residing in Monaco after Kenyan luxury upbringing well that boy will do for me. True Brit.

This country hasn't produced a decent sportwoman since Zola Budd.

spot on

Froome is a facking Kenyan/Saffa too

plus he's doped up to the eyeballs like all of team Sky too

So "young panthers" instead of "young lions" wasn't picked up on?

Working class team sport.

I blame the rise of individualism

Took a while for anyone to clock onto Froome as well.

Point still stands though, by far the greatest nation in the world at sports.

You take that back!

We're doing much better in recent years. Until not so long ago we were major underachievers and bottlers in the bigger sports. Remember when we won one gold medal at the Olympics in 96?

Given how much of an association we have with them we still underachieve at tennis, football, golf, cricket and rugby. By the same token, we probably participate in more of the major, popular sports than other countries, certainly in Europe, so overall you can look at that as a positive.

Definitely worth mentioning the strong foreign influence that adds to our success, whether that be players or athletes growing up or being born outside of Britain - Mo Farah, or non-British coaches - Eddie Jones.

I recall an attitude that whenever England beat Australia at cricket it was always"The worst team to come out of Australia." Frank Bruno rocked Mike Tyson and gave Tim Witherspoon a hell of a fight but few actually recognised his achievements. A lot of English people disrespect everything English and always find an excuse when the other team loses to England. I even remember some English lads not wanting Miss UK to win the Miss World contest. I remember on Radio a sports host being told by an Englishman that he wanted Germany to beat England. It's rife throughout England.
