To be fair, only our culture has so thoroughly pervaded the world. The vast majority of nations strive to put forth a government like ours. We are by far the most powerful military and economic nation in the world. People the world over still prefer to look toward America for opportunities rather than other nations. If Americans have a provincial attitude, perhaps it's because we're the most powerful, most watched nation on the face of the earth.
The fact that we stand astride the world like a colossus militates for a more, not less, worldly citizenry. It's the disconnect between our global pretensions and the lack of worldliness of our citizens that makes the rest of the world anti-American. And it's hard to make the case that that impulse is misplaced. Soccer is just one of many examples where silly, annoying American "exceptionalism" displays itself.
How can a nation deign to dictate to the world when something on the range of half of the members of its parliament have never held a passport?
