My post was not meant as an attack on US, but on Greenie & your comments on women's soccer, sorry you can't take someone having a differing opinion to you.

However: My comment on basketball was personal interpretation, but the rest is historical fact (look it up in a sport's almanac if you don't believe me). You cannot change facts just because you don't like them (despite what they might think in Washington and Westminster).

As to your little rhyme if the most recent thing you can think of where an American 'team' beat a British 'team' is in 1814 then I feel kind of proud to be British, we may not be much good at most sports, but we've won lots of things since 1814.
