Terrible at Rugby
Terrible at Cricket
Terrible at everything.
Of course, being a Kiwi I'm slightly biased
In reality, the majority of Aus is exactly the same as NZ. Except we have less desert And our beaches are nothing compared to yours.
Though at least we don't try to claim your musicians as ours. Honestly, trying to claim the Finn Brothers as yours ?!?!
Particularily racist against one group in Aus
Vegemite obsessed (Though who can blame you
)
Think it's bad having all those bad stereotypes. Try telling 99% of Americans I've met that you come from New Zealand.
"You mean that little part of Austrailia ?"
"No, there's a tiny bit of ocean in between
"
"Oh, but you guys are part of Austrailia aren't you ? Like didn't the countries merge or something ?"
"No"
"Oh...how many sheep do you have ?"
"Over 100"
"ONLY 100 ?!?! I thought everybody had like, a thousand..."

That's as maybe, but Australia are terribly successful in the sporting world and there's no escaping that.

Or go 'Come on Tim!' in a really pathetic sort of way
It was great when someone started shouting that in one the men's quarter finals.
And we're 1-0up in the current cricket series against Aus.
