    French. Yes, absolutely. Americans very biased against the French. They tell Polish jokes like the English do Irish jokes. Irish are all drunks and Italians all mobsters... But...

    Germans. Never witnessed any special dislike of them. Odd WWII joke, but less than in Britain.

    And of course a lot of Americans don't like anyone who isn't American or doesn't speak English. But Potter isn't American and both he Tuchel speak English.

    Seeing the big flags within the spectators of this German match, made me think, imagine being stuck under one of them bloody things for a whole game.

    The dog would do a much better job and a better job as manager as dogs instinctively know how to chase a ball

    The Americans have a problem with everyone who is not a good old boy

    Except the English as the definition of The all American Boy is someone with direct male lineage to the original English settlers in America

    Problem is they all died but some of the third group of settlers survived to start the colony so they have got to settle for third choice

    What's amusing to me is how many Americans proudly announce that they are "Scotch"-Irish when they meet me, hear my accent and ask where I'm from. Every white person in America think they're Scotch-Irish even if their last name is Schwartz-Slokowski and their family has been in America 10 generations.

    I don't know if it was the same for you, but I got pissed off with Americans thinking I was Australian ffs. Like I've never heard an Australian with a cockney accent. <laugh>

    For me it's not Australian. They all think I'm Irish... And my Scottish friend is English. <laugh>. He loves that!

    A lot of Americans really don't understand me when I talk, to be honest I use to get so pissed off with it, I had to just get my partner to chat to them. I can remember going to see someone we knew at one of these gated communities one time, anyway, security stopped me at the gate and asked where I was going, when I told them, I just got this glazed over look. In the end I think they just gave up and let me through anyway.

    The thing I found when I spent three weeks in Africa was the reaction to my very English accent, wherever I went in South Africa I got a polite quizzical look but as soon as I spoke it was ahhh you are English not Afrikaans, yes I would say I am English, welcome to my country how can I help you

    It was the same everywhere else but just more so in South Africa

    I speak a lot slower and annunciate more than I used to because I used to get the same sort of reaction. I have to always try and speak like I'm on the radio now.

    You two should try living in Scandinavia

    Best in the world at blagging English up here, all claiming they understand English. Do they ****, anything past a basic sentence has them in a panic.

    Does anybody else think it’s Liverpool’s fans fault that the PL games have been cancelled, or just me?
