Why do the Brits suck at Table Tennis when they invented it

[Marcustt]

The Brits invented table tennis yet they suck. Why?

 

[Persistence TT]

They also "invented" soccer. The last and only big title was in 1966. So you have your answer

 

[NDH]

More troll food?

You can't be talking about the BRONZE medal winning British team at the last World Championships can you??

Anyway, perhaps you suck, but I can assure you the people I play with don't

They don't.

 

[Marcustt]

They're nothing compared to China, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, etc.

 

[Lolman]

Haha considering the funding that table tennis gets in the Uk they are doing quite well

"Trolls" have to understand that trolling is a modern form of art. If people realize your full of BS its not trolling its being stupid

Go to the basement asap.

England has so many sports: football, rugby, cricket, bowls, snooker, darts, cycling, rowing, hockey etc. These are all probably more popular than TT. England does extremely well considering...

Ah, that classic rhetoric figure - the loaded question that cannot be answered without tacitly subscribing to the implicit assumptions it stipulates. Are you still beating your wife?

 

[Marcustt]

no cause ill find you there hiding behind your computer typing rubbish

 

[Suga D]

I don't think Pitch sucks.
I don't think Paul sucks.
I don't think Sam sucks.
I don't think Alan Cook sucks.
As a matter of fact, they've been doing extraordinarily well at the last ETTTC, so i absolutely don't get your point!
But anyway, insulting a whole nation in your very first post isn't considered as a smart move in my book.

We've beaten Germany and we've beaten France twice.

 

[edgy]

why does op suck at posting threads?

 

[Zaid323918]

Just because they're no match for the Asians and Germans doesn't mean they suck. They still have some decent players. On the other hand Team USA doesn't. Their top players are Chinese immigrants and the players are still a lot worse than the ones in the UK. Anyways, TT isn't a big thing in the UK. If UK was bad at rugby you could say something but if China was you can't.

I thought England has been ranked top 16 country out of few hundreds for many years. In my view, that would qualify them as one of the "Elite" TT country in the world.

 

[Marcustt]

Table tennis was invented based off of tennis. The rich and the royalty of England many years ago were too old to move as much as you need to in tennis. That is where they were able to create table tennis where they could afford to have the rackets and tables to play indoors. The idea only spread after it became so popular in Great Britain. Therefore, all Im saying is Britain had the upper hand and should therefore be among the top in the world.
