We Europeans secretly admire the US.
Sometimes, we fail to understand America though and on such occasions it feels good to label Americans as "ignorant", "materialistic", "uncivilized" etc.
Never mind.
Let's continue to run the World together, but contribute to it in different manners.
Below, some few clips illustrating what we Europeans do better than any other part of Humanity.
France leads the World in really cool swearing:

Italy leads the World in traffic skills as a form of art:

Germany leads the World in not being able to pronounce the English Word “squirrel”:

Finns lead the World in heavy metal:

Poles lead the World in nothing. They are like Mexican-Americans in the US who go to night school, take courses in Spanish and get a “b”. That’s pretty cool too, as no one cares about the success of other people.
I’m a Swede. We Swedes dream of World Cup of football (soccer) success, but I guess we’ll remain an ice hockey nation, which actually isn’t that bad at all:

Be proud of who you are and Greetings from Sweden!
Greetings back from Washington DC. It’s nice to know we still have a few friends in the world.
Sorry, but Canada owns that category. But the Swedes did win the World Jr's in 2012 and finished 2nd in 2013, so there is that....
The French may lead the world in swearing, in French, but they can’t cuss in English worth a damn, no matter how many Hollywood flicks they see. In fact, maybe that is the problem. Now Brits are another matter.
With all due respect to achivements of the past, Sweden is by and by becoming the leading ice hockey nation on Earth.
You saw what the Sedin Brothers accomplished lately.
Believe me, this is the shape of things to come.
The Sedins are at their height now and will soon grow old, but they’re inspiring a generation of young boys (and girls) who’ll put an end to this discussion.
In tribute of the Sedins:

I can see the French leading the world in “cool” swearing, having known a few chefs, but when the going gets tough the tough go Russian.
Frenchman: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person! I blow my nose at you, so-called Ah-thoor Keeng, you and all your silly English K-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-niggits! [makes taunting gestures at them]
Sir Galahad: What a strange person.
King Arthur: Now, look here, my good man--
Frenchman: I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Sir Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
Frenchman: No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
“The French may lead the world in swearing, in French, but they can’t cuss in English worth a damn, no matter how many Hollywood flicks they see. In fact, maybe that is the problem. Now Brits are another matter.”
- I could see that coming.
It’s a matter of taste whether you rank the French or the British the highest in this regard. The Brits do some pretty cool swearing.
Any ******* how, As I always wish to stay top dog, please allow me to bring in this official Italian news reporter;

Guilty. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you.
Greetings to you, Here’s to hoping that you can preserve your culture against the left, and radical Islamic influence!
If a Frenchman swears, does he say “pardon mon Anglais?”
“Guilty. Not that it’s a bad thing, mind you.”
It feels good to own stuff.
Here in Sweden we are, indeed, very materialistic too, but fail to admit it.
We prefer to view ourselves as a neutral little country that hands out Nobel prizes. Not as a rich and highly successful country.
Nobel prizes are good, but self-effacing bs is of no use in a World where competition is name of the game.
A great hero from my home city, boxing legend Ingemar Johansson, knew all about this.
- Fight hard or go home, they say.
Ingemar Johansson fought hard, won the match (against ruling heavyweight champion Floyd Paterson) in Madison Square Garden and went home. (Later on, Floyd came over to Sweden and defeated Johansson).
I think we Swedes should focus more on fighting.
We are good at it and when we really engage in combat of one kind or another, the World spins a little bit faster round its axis.
Johansson vs Paterson 6/26/59, round III:

- Considering the fact Muslims fail to breed better than Swedish women (something which might come as a surprise to some) I don’t give två knull (meaning *** ***** in English English) about them or their silly little cult.
What really bothers the **** out of me is our braindead PC politicians.
Blondes breed better:
Swedish women being prettier than those of other countries is just a myth.
If you compare a Swedish nightclub to, for instance, a club in Britain, you can’t really tell the diffrence.

It is still funny.
By my reading of history, Europeans get themselves into pickles that require extraction by Americans.
Just sayin’
