I was hoping this thread would provide an opportunity for the Americans here to understand the English psyche. Not the differences between football codes.
To understand what football means to an Englishman, is to understand the English.

Personally I think we have an unfair advantage when it comes to understanding foriegn cultures. American culture is understood by the English, more than ours is by the average American.
Your T.V. programmes are piped through our screens on a daily basis, not just in England, but around the world.

This thread isn't about the differences in our national sports, but more about the differences in our cultures.
