USA Vs UK Vs AUSTRALIA
"As I am an American Citizen it pains me to write this in some ways, but seeing as I have lived in Australia for the better part of the last 16 years I thought I would respond to various comments made by some of my country men and women. The USA appear to be under the wrong assumption that they walked away with Olympic glory and are proclaiming themselves as the greatest sporting nation on earth.

I thought we would jot our USA 'friends', (and copy just about everybody else we know) a little analysis that should set the record straight once and for all."
