PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS THREAD INTO ANOTHER LETS ALL FLAME US/EUROPEAN SPORTS

One thing I (as a european) have noticed about the U.S. sports is that they are all high scoring, as opposed to a E.G. 1-0 in soccer.
Any thoughts on this.

It's interesting you think US sports are higher scoring than traditionally Empire or World sports.  American Football has its roots in rugby, which is equally high scoring.  And I don't think anything beats cricket for high scores.  Okay, football (soccer) is low-scoring but what about snooker?  And don't forget darts, where you start off with 501 points each.

Sport is one thing that unites people across the world, often in enemy nations.  India and Pakistan, often at loggerheads (where does that word come from??) with each other, still play cricket.  Even Zimbabwe, who hate the English for various reasons - they won't even let BBC journalists in the country - still want to play us at cricket.

Let's leave sport alone, don't use to increase the divisions between countries or continents.

American just doesn't do "team" sports well at all. Yes they produce incredible individual athletes.  They don't engage the rest of the world in any meaningful way with team sports and just play their own games that no one else in the world really plays.
