Pick the most unlucky country in the world right now.

Did Myanmar came off the top of your mind? True enough the turmoil and bloodshed there is so unnecessary in this modern era. But my choice would have to be England. Just look at what happened to them in the past month alone:

• England’s soccer team lost 2-1 to Russia to effectively half-kill their qualification chances for Euro 200.

• Lewis Hamilton, yes he’s English, lost his final lap of the race, literally, in the F1 championships to give the driver’s championship to Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen. But at least he’s one for the future.

Okay, I’m being biased and thinking shallow here . But I just wanna point out that if I was an English, I’d be utterly disappointed that we have little to cheer about in the sporting arena. I feel you, England…

God save the Queen country

With so many ang mohs around, I only got to differentiate the Aussie’s and the English by the word ‘mate’ that the former always use. They’re damn passionate people who will sing along as if they’re in the stadium itself, and don’t curse and swear as much as I had stereotyped them to.
