I don't know what you're talking about. The US has had a horrible time trying to get Football to catch on.
England and many other countries are far better than us at Football. We're lucky to get out of CONCACAF.
Although Women's Football has generally done alright I suppose.

Most English women would fit right in on people of Walmart, and don't have the posh accent you are probably thinking of. If it weren't for widespread heavy drinking, the English would have abstained themselves into extinction generations ago.
you're talking about soccer
Please do.
I guess the ones I've seen in Algarve(Portugal) during the summer aren't part of the most, then.

Nope, Football.
I really wish I could.
However, unfortunately, they don't just let anyone who turns up on their doorstep in.

I mean, I'm not saying to ban alcohol - other people can do that if that's their thing. But, I have no interest in it, so it's not anything positive to me.
And, I've loved the accent of every Englishwoman that I've talked to, regardless of the variations in their accents.

Hoorah.
We'll take your best and then slowly influence your pop culture.

Oh the Daily Mail got banned right when I wanted to make a point with it for the first time ever.
Association Football, or soccer for short. Not real football.
The ball game that you play almost entirely with your feet is not real football?
Sorry, but even the Simpson's says that baseball is bad and as we all know the Simpson's is the go to source for judging all things American.
What?

Funny, that logo doesn't say "Association" or "Soccer" in it, just "Football"
And it was around before that other sport that goes by that name.
But then, that sport loves to take names from other things anyway. Such as the New York Giants when there was already a team named the New York Giants in Baseball.
And, of course, they're still the New York Giants now, despite the fact that they now play in New Jersey.
That sport basically has no clue what they're doing with names.
The Association part is silent. Crazy Europeans.
I know it's been done before in this thread, but this time around it was too tempting:
I realize maybe you're just kidding, but since there are people on this site who think that bills like this are a sign of the apocalypse and American exceptional retardation, it's actually good that they can propose that bill.
--it puts the discussion on the table, instead of behind closed doors
--lets us know what they really think
--it'll get shot down in court, in the media, on websites where people discuss it, everywhere. other people will see that and learn as well
I want them to keep proposing bullshit like that and watch it all go up in flames. We still have light years to go, but that's how progress is made.
Until Coke makes a super bowl commercial about said multiculturalism, and everyone loses their shit lol

i'm glad foreigners can still extract superficial wisdom and impressions of american culture from our discarded and forgotten entertainment, but nobody in america cares about the simpsons anymore.
just wait til you see what happens next week on matlock!
freenudemacusers has touched on an important point. our forgotten pop nonsense is now european culture. i was in a fine dining establishment in italy last year and they were playing greenday's American Idiot.

well i don't blame them, it seems non-americans enjoy it, mostly out of desperation to be a part of our cultural zeitgeist, I assume.

To be fair, people still make Crocodile Dundee jokes here when they find out I'm Australian. And if I have to hear five or six more Fosters jokes, I'm turning in my green card.
where do you live?

im sorry.
I'm admittedly part of the problem.
Although with my Aussie friend, my favorite joke was to pretend that Outback was authentic Australian cuisine and recommend that we go there constantly.
This culminated in me turning in a job application at the local Outback with his information on it.

For shame. They should be making Mad Max jokes.

That's actually pretty hilarious. When my mum and dad visited, I took them to Outback without telling them where we were going. My mum thought it was pretty funny, but my dad who is generally the joker in the pack sat there, eyes like saucers, looking like he was about to get raped by a hillbilly.
Hey, that's part of experiencing authentic Florida.

I really hate patriotism, not only from americans but rather anyone. Seems so silly to me.

You deserve to be tied up naked with an American flag blowing in the wind from your penis and legs while also being tied to the bosom of the statue of liberty.

We've had a rough run the past decade or so, but America is still a land of opportunity.

This may be the only thing I still truly love about my country. That and Kansas City BBQ.

USA could have obesity olympics. Why focus on the minority of athletic people, when you can cater to what one third of the population relates to?
UK, would be number 2. Or Kuwait. Actually, more developing countries are obese too.
