A country which only has 20 million, yet has at least one representative player in every major league across the globe including NBA, La Liga, Bundesliga, EPL, NFL, NHL and MLB. None of these sports are even popular in Australia and when you look at how they stack up at their national sports such as Cricket and Rugby they dominate everything. Even minor sports like field Hockey and Netball, various Olympic events which they don't really care about, they are still the reigning champs in.
So is there really any question about Australia's place as the number one sporting nation? Or is there perhaps another sparsely populated country which I've overlooked?

Aussies punters are a huge meme right now. Good job.

Literally was shit and was hired on as a publicity stunt because they knew Aussies would watch because it would be mentioned that he played rugby

yeah that huge Australian market that tunes in at 4am every monday to watch the 49ers must be extremely lucrative to the NFL

Jarryd Hayne literally won some sportsman of the year award.
He literally failed like a bitch faggot. Whoever was giving that award basically said that all American athletes in the NFL are better than the best Aussie sportsman
>>64200796
failing would have been not making the team at all
He fucking played in the NFL, I didn't think he would even sniff preseason
>>64200796
Hayne was never the best Aussie sportsman.
Even if he was, he did pretty well considering he hadn't played the sport before.

You know rugby is a dead fucking sport in Australia that the vast majority ignore, right?
If it were a publicity stunt, they would have hired an ex-AFL player
Face it, American """sports""" are a joke
>>64200839
they have had many ex-AFL players
nobody cared

There was a little interest when Ben Graham made the super bowl with the Cardinals, but not much
>>64200933
I'm going to be perfectly honest with you.
The 9ers are fucking Hayne by not letting him get reps at game speed. Preseason doesn't count.
>>64199002
They don't dominate rugby or league.
NZ are no.1 in the world in both

last I checked Australia was number one in league, number 2 in union despite not caring for it.

Well I was wrong but Australia is still the reigning champs of the world cup, meaning they won when it mattered most.

ayyyy
>>64201707
he's talking historically as well as in present and no country even comes close to Australia in cricket. Certainly not Englel fucking lmao.
Of the 4 greatest cricket teams of all time, 3 of them are Australian. If you picked an all-time World XI, there would be 5 Australians, 0(zero) Englishmen. As for recently, >you beat >us 3-2 in your home conditions. >We won 5-0 in Australia. Australia has 5(five) World Cups. Englel has 0(zero)
>>64201707
Australia won the last ODI world cup whereas Bongland didn't even make it out of the group stages and got beaten by Bonglafuckingdesh LOL
>>64201745
There are clearly two greatest teams of all time. WI in the 80s and Australia in the 00s. After those you have the Aussie invincibles, England of the 50s, recent Saffies.
>no English players in an all time xi
No. England candidates are Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Hutton, Barnes, Trueman. England definitely have a monopoly on the opening positions. Bradman is the only nailed on member of such a team.
5-0s were impressive but Australia haven't won a series in England for 14 years. If the pitch lacks pace of moves off the straight Australia struggle. The current team are hometown heroes. Fully expect Southee and Boult to really test them early next year.
Australia is irrelevant in relevant sports just like how they are irrelevant in real life.
>>64201839
And England didn't win an Ashes series anywhere for nearly two decades
>England of the 50s, recent Saffies
Australia of the 70's are better than either of those sides.
>Sutcliffe
>Hobbs
>Trueman
>UNIRONICALLY resorting to citing era-babbies that even your great-grandfather never saw play.
No doubt Englel were the dominant cricket country in the late 19th/early 20th Century. but that's literally because they were the only country who knew how to play it. So howabout we talk about cricket that somewhat resembles the modern game? Putting in any of the names would be as retarded as me putting up Victor Trumper.
Infact Englel's dominance 100+ years ago is the only reason why the overall Ashes record is even remotely close. Australia has completely flogged Englel post-war
ireland > ausfailia
ireland population is like <4 million, majority of the population plays irish amateur sports, and those few that dont are either in our 6 nations winning rugby team, champion ufc fighters, heavyweight champ boxers (>implying fury isnt irish), our euro 2016 winning football squad, i could go on
>>64201895
So just out of curiosity, you wouldn't include Bradman in an all time xi? Would Keith Miller make your all time Aussie xi?
>>64201915
>6 nations winning rugby team
>this is an accomplishment

>>64201884
Your country's princess is LITERALLY Australian
>>64201951
I'd make an exception for Bradman purely because of how far out he stood. But yes I do concede Bradman is overrated. My grandfather saw him play in the '48 series and said that while he was still the best of all-time, he wasn't as good as his numbers suggest.
Keith Miller played post-war so yes he gets in, same reason I didn't argue Hutton who I would have opening aswell.
>>64201915
We beat you at your own meme sport. Ireland is absolute garbage at Rugby (literally NEVER made it past the RWC QF kek KEK).
in 2015 Australia won the Asian Soccer Cup (we don't even care about that "sport" lmao, and unlike Ireland, that wasn't a fictional victory), Cricket World Cup, Netball World Cup and were Rugby World Cup runners-up.
