Not to let the US Tabloid Press get off…
.
The New York Post—they of the infamous ‘USA Wins 1-1’ headline—signs off for the World Cup with the same ‘reinforce everything English people grow up thinking about Americans’ style they started with.
And yes, I do know that ‘USA wins…’ was a reference to Harvard-Yale. I’ll posit that use of an Ivy League in-joke as an international news headline reinforces ‘everything people grow up thinking about Americans.’ But of course, I’m only joking.
