English Sport

So the great few days of English sport has ended up in ashes as usual.

It wouldnt be an English sporting event without us losing with some kind of sense of injustice ;) So the disputed try in the rugby, the dodgy penalty Rooney gave away in the football and the illegal cars in the F1 are just part of the experience. Armchair pundits will have fun arguing about these for ages afterwards.

By getting so close, and then losing Lewis Hamilton has raised himself to English racing hero in the mould of Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill who both almost won it several times before finally getting there. Had Lewis won it in his first year I dont think we'd have known what to do! Sports Personality of the Year is almost assured for our latest in a long line of plucky losers who get near but yet so far.

There's always next year...
