Americans are poor losers (I'm an American) who have a hard time improvising when things go bad (witness Vietnam or Iraq). Instead they 'stay the course' right into disaster.
I haven't been reading this thread anyways, hence my silence was deafening through absentia.
In anticipation: how dare you dare my how dare you? (one of my favourite lines from a Leslie Nielsen movie, can't remember which one).
I didn't see it anyway: I've paid very little attention to world cup threads. I don't think I would have troll-rated it anyway: sighed slightly and ignored it. I see no reason to doubt that he is American, in which case I'm not in much of a position to troll rate him for his opinions of his own country. It'd be like people troll-rating me for saying how obsessed with ridiculous middle class competition the Irish are.
