I've seen some of those blinders on this side of the pond from Yanks, too. I've also had some nice conversations with some Brits at a pub here in Denver, the British Bulldog. They didn't have those blinders on. Maybe it happens when you follow a team like Palace. Or maybe it's that you know of cities over here other than NYC, LA and DC.

No surprise Guardian readers hate Americans, is it? That rag may as well be called The Socialist Daily.

I particularly enjoy the comments section. I love how they speak of us in generic overarching terms as though we are objects of study and as though they have an objective viewpoint. What a particularly British trait.

They are right about the quality not being there in MLS. But, in some ways because of that, it is quite entertaining.

Enough of the Yanks`do get it. Seems to me he's right on that.

What a horrifically poor article.
