That's not data.

As a British soccer analyst said in a U.K. radio interview yesterday in response to a question about the controversy over the USWNT score and celebrations, it's no big deal because the Americans are "born winners". And what the USMNT did NOT do is hold back to spite their rival. National character.

This is really funny, because the US has this concept of not "running up the score" that runs counter to your narrative. And most of the controversy wasn't really about scoring more, but about classless celebrations. Plenty of winners out there somehow manage to understand good sportsmanship when it comes to overmatched foes. That's just a silly excuse, nothing more.
