Talking about all happening on the same day, as far as England's 3 most popular ball sports go, yesterday is probably the worse/saddest day in their history.

I'd be more bothered if we conceded late on today when 6-0 up.

The rugby was annoying, but predictable that the best team would win through at the end. The cricket team have been abysmal all world cup so that wasn't much of a shock either. What's the other one?

I'm surprised by this thread, it's not like English sports commentary to deal in hyperbole.

The worst/saddest day in English sporting history was 15th April 1989.

In the space of less than 3 months you had Luton/Millwall, the Bradford fire, Blues/Leeds, Heysel. As well as countless other violence at games each week. I know it's more than one day and only covers football but that was a dark dark time for English sport.
