I don't know where you're from, but I will nonetheless assume that blatantly stereotyping the actions of a small number of idiots as "typical" of an entire country is in no way typical of your people.
Fair comment and I apologize if I have offended anybody. I did not particularly mean to stereotype an entire nation but surely you can see how 'konichiwa bitches' is the kind of unoriginal and unsubtle humour that is only exclusive to a certain bunch in America. I understand that a couple of narrow minded morons heckling can pop up anywhere, regardless of demographic.

Attacking Americans is a long and delightful tradition here on RedCafe. It's never been dealt with by the mods, who I assume have no problem with it. As I've said a million times, if it was any other country or race or whatever, you can be sure the mods would have dealt with it.

Bashing Americans? Have at it. Not a mod in sight.

Funny how every American I've ever met has been unfailingly polite and pleasant. As Excal suggested, it's wrong to generalise.

The general perception of America and Americans is quite a long way from reality. Ive made countless trips to the US for work and holiday and the people and the place is great. Small town Americans are exactly the same as small town people anywhere in the world. Friendly, helpful, charming.

Has anyone mentioned that all the Japanese players were ugly? At least we have that...

Really?

Most of the mods are Oirish and they get more shit than any other nationality on the site.

Someone on my feed tweeted this:

"The last century of women's suffrage and improvements in gender equality have all been undone by THE SHITTEST PENALTY SHOOT-OUT EVER."

Made me laugh.

Gutted for the US gals, but they acquitted themselves well. Crap way to lose especially given how they ran the game. Very proud of them. Good sportswomanship all around really.

Happy for Japan though. Classy team that played some good football. Very composed on the ball when given half the chance. Their game vs. Sweden reminded me of a certain Champions League final.

I'd say the stereotypical American is the loud-mouthed, drunken, studi, rude one that every media on the planet loves to quote, show, and/or encourage for press.

Your typical American from my experience is educated enough, tolerant, helpful and just wanting to get on with life. But that's a boring portrayal.

As for the guy shouting during the moment of silence, I sadly laughed.

The french too get regularly dissed.I think if done correctly, the jokes can each other's countries can be fun and most of the time on the caf they're not.
I am not innocent as I happen to make stupidly fun on other countries as well.The problem is the ignorant generalization of stereotypes

one of the cleanest games I've ever seen. the American ladies should have been out of sight by halftime but fair play to Japan for never giving up. congrats to them.

one of the lads in the pub put $1000 on Japan to win. not bad to be him.

Funny that it's the Canadian sports fans that seem to show the least amount of class when it counts. That being said, I have been to Canada several times and everyone I have met there has been really friendly.

Canadian fanns boo U.S. National Anthem:

Bostons response:

As classless as these American fans. It happens at many games, that I have watched being broadcast on each side of the boarder. I don't know why the national anthem is even sang before every game anyway. It's not like the players from russia or czech enjoy it.

Not quite sure where the Canadian attack comes from but if I remember Canadians, we do have our share of gimps too, were booing in response to Americans which resulted in it happening at each other home games. Don cherry called for it to stop and Canadians actually cheered the American anthem in reply.
