bas malo citam englesku stampu... jucer su na SP u kriketu izgubili od Irske

, pa su odmah izasli s listom najvecih engleskih sportskih poraza:
Great English defeats
1950 Football
USA 1-0 England
England turned up to the World Cup in Brazil among the favourites, the Americans were just happy to be there. The English had Sir Stanley Matthews, one of the best players in the world, the Americans had a hearse driver called Frank Borghi. USA pulled off a shock though, such a shock in fact that some newspapers thought the scoreline was an error and corrected it to a 10-0 England victory.
1992 Cricket
Zimbabwe beat England by nine runs
In the 1992 World Cup England were skittled out for just 125, chasing a paltry 135 to win. Zimbabwe's hero was chicken farmer Eddo Brandes, who took four wickets for just 21 runs. Brandes didn't stop there either. He was back a few years later to take a hat-trick as the Zimbaweans beat England again.
1998 Rugby union
Australia 76-0 England
England started off their tour of Australia with some experienced players missing and five new caps. No matter, they prevented the hosts from scoring a point for the first 15 minutes. Just over an hour later, they had suffered their biggest ever defeat. A 19-year-old Jonny Wilkinson, who missed two easy penalties. He'd go on to a bit of success though.
2000 Tennis
Great Britain 2-3 Ecuador
OK, so this was a technically a defeat for Britain but the abject capitulation was typically English. After years in the doldrums, Britain had a strong side that included Greg Rusedski and Tim Henman. But defeats for Rusedski, and Henman and Arvind Parmar in the doubles left the latter needing to win the final rubber. Parmar had a two set lead but still managed to lose in five to 17-year-old Giovanni Lapentti.
2009 Cricket
Netherlands beat England by four wickets
Not only could England boast far more experience than their opponents, they were also the hosts for the tournament, the World Twenty20. No matter, Netherlands won off the last ball at Lord's, the home of English cricket. The result seemed to spur England on though, they won the Ashes later that year and won the World Twenty20 a year later.
2010 Fifa World Cup bid
Russia 1-0 England
England had already lost an earlier bid for the 2006 World Cup but there would be no mistakes this time as they deployed a dream strike force of David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham. England schmoozed for all they were worth but the Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, announced Russia would host the 2018 World Cup. Many observers spotted a twinkle in Blatter's eye: the BBC had accused Fifa of corruption in the run-up to the vote.
pa mi padne na pamet: koji bi bili najveci hrvatski sportski porazi? O uspjesima i rang-listama uspjeha su se napisali vec cijeli tomovi, o porazima ne
znam da sam se ja najgore osjecao nakon 2:2 u Maksimiru...
