We all have different stories to tell regarding where we were born and grew up, and how we fell in love with either the Premier League or one Premier League club in particular. But I believe that despite the banter, there are many readers to this site who respect both the British and American cultures. After all, we have a lot in common.
So I thought it’d be interesting to have each of you share what you love about the United States and the United Kingdom. The answers don’t all have to pertain to soccer, but should focus on the British and American cultures.
Here’s my list of the things I love about the UK and USA. Feel free to share your list in the comments section below.
Things I love about the US:
People have more of a positive outlook on life,
BBQ food,
Lower prices on almost everything,
