The World Cup has brought real excitement to these American shores, and not just in the form of soccer, but in the innocent, wide-eyed discoveries of European tourists experiencing the United States for the first time.

Here are some of their most surprising discoveries:


  1. Football is actually called “soccer”: All this time, they were calling it by the wrong name.

  2. Americans prefer a sport called “baseball” where no one kicks anything: How can you have a sport with no kicks?

  3. It’s surprisingly difficult to be stabbed by a Muslim: You can find it on any street corner in the UK.

  4. The police won’t raid your house if you share a meme: Go ahead and be funny, Europeans.

  5. Currency is not multicolored and the size of a manila envelope: You can actually fit it in your pocket.

  6. Americans are even fatter than expected: Given the abundance of delicious food, it’s no surprise.

  7. Trump is not actually out on the streets murdering minorities: The BBC has been lying this whole time.

  8. No one has heard of many small European countries: Most Americans just assume Moldova is a prescription drug to fight plaque psoriasis.

  9. Americans don’t take six-hour lunch breaks or have a designated nap time: What are they, machines?

  10. There are designated places where highly trained professionals will clean your teeth: What type of sorcery is this?

  11. There’s a strange concept here called “liberty”: This is likely a reference to an old wooden ship from the Civil War.

  12. Knight Rider isn’t real: This is among the most disappointing revelations.

  13. Everyone hates Meghan Markle here, too: Maybe America has more in common with the rest of the world than previously believed.


America is truly the greatest country on earth.
