All that money spent, a talent pool of around 60 million compared to 4 million, not having to contend with losing top players to other countries... Pretty amazing to be ranked above England, it will never happen again though.
You should have stuck with Paddy Ashdown as High Representive, perhaps the last of the impressive politicians produced by this country...sorted out Sarawak in the 60's, keeping them as part of Malaysia, a rare victory for the British military at the time.
