I have come to the conclusion the Laureus World Sports Awards are a joke.

How can England & South Africa Rugby teams have been given the team of the year awards in '03 and '08 and the ABs have never have received it.

ESPECIALLY this year given their results (and the year before too)

What a joke.

Bayern Munich??! give me a frickin break.
 
What's so suprising about Bayern Munich? I'm not a big follower of football, but some of their stats are ridiculous.. they've already won the Bundesliga 25+ points clear unbeaten and haven't lost a game in 18 months..

Not according to Wikipedia (I don't follow football either though)
 
They've played 27 this season so far, winning 25 and drawing 2 - therefore they are unbeaten. They've got 117/123 available points so far from the last 41 Bundesliga games, and you don't need to be a football fan to realize how incredible that is..

Agreed.

It's not a 100% win record in internationals though.

And i'm not sure; are they the first to ever achieve their feat?

Seriously, not surprising at all considering last season they won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal (German Cup Competition) with relative ease, plus the massive Champions League win, which included a demolition of Barcelona in the semi's. Add to that them winning this years Bundesliga with 7 games to spare and you've got some huge achievements.

All Blacks probably are a bit hard done having never won it, but not like they were "ripped-off" this year. And anyway, why the hell should they care? They're the best team in world rugby no matter what some random, meaningless cross-sport award says.

All fair points thingimubob.
Can't argue with you at all.

As a mate of mine just said: The only awards that matter in sports are championships

Exactly ;)

Haven't Bayern conceded a total of 0 goals in all of their international matches?

Actually they beat the Netherlands 3-2 in a friendly before the last European Championships (I think) Not sure if that counts. :p
