Second - Rio Olympics
Very proud of Team GB for beating China to second in Medal Table. Get in. Not bad for a little country down on its luck after voting to leave the EU!

Awesomeness. We won golds in about 50% more sports/events than any other country too.

Also the only country ever to improve it's performance in the next games after hosting them.

Keep buying the lottery tickets guys :-0)

God bless the lottery, heard McCririck saying John Major deserves a gold medal and he probably does, I remember the dismal 80s and 90s.

We will only do that when the FA wake up and realise that the England Team need to be selected from the Championship or League 1 & 2. Choosing over-paid players from the Premier League who really don't care enough is never going to work! Also we need Harry as manager as Sam is another 4 years wasted!

No, sod that, we've proved we're no good at it anymore despite spending hundreds of millions trying to be.

Stop all funding for football and allocate it to Olympic sports instead.

Yeah I was just thinking we should have had Harry, it will be boom or bust with him, but with steady Sam we are only ever going to be a quarter final team at best.
