I’ve seen some northern euros discus soccer (on a hockey board) say that their countries women aren’t interested in soccer and that the US is rare in promoting the women worldwide.
But you’re right, a lot of our people seem to think the US women’s team is some sort of underdog.
I have seen Euros and Aussies discuss everything on US automotive forums and they think they are the best at everything and the US sucks at everything from the economy to trucks. When you point out the flaws in their thinking they make excuses like they did with you on girls soccer.
