No problem, I´m cool with it, as I see you are. No harm, no foul.

By the way, Lillo is from Álava, if I´m not mistaken, so he was kind of a prophet in a hostile land (it´s the North, and of a classic rough and tumble type of football).

The ´you´re so fricking American´ wasn´t an insult, it was a comment, nothing more.

In general, and in IMHO, Americans tend to be extremist, and one game, or a tie of matches, signal an utter and complete change or reversal. It´s not always that way.

IMHO Many have a short attention span, pay attention to garbage adverts and propaganda, and act accordingly. Many, not all.

This has been my experience. Experiences may vary, of course.

Anyone who would be insulted by that probably doesn't know how insults work. There's almost literally nothing better to be in the world than American.

This may all be true. What America has given the world however, is the greatest athletes, great fans who don't kill each other (mostly), and more successful and well organized leagues than anything Europe has ever come up with, in a shorter amount of time.

Our basement may be really low, but our ceiling is far higher than anyone else's.
