Are Australians the most arrogant sports nation?

I honestly cant beleive how many times i have seen Australian hosted games where even on the loosing side it is always an Australian who recieves the award for player of the day. The biggest joke of all was Lockyer in a loosing World Cup final and the most recent being Nat Vanburto in a huge loss against the Magic. It's almost pathetic to watch and even the players themselves look embarrased to be receiving the honour they know they dont deserve.
