Another couple, the wife and I went to the local Comedy Club last Friday night, and one of the comics got a great laugh from the crowd out of the explanation of this question.

It seems it's really pretty simple.

If Americans followed the "Beautiful Sport" AND it's worldwide competition, and in order to know where all these people who love playing this sport come from........we'd HAVE to learn GEOGRAPHY!!!

Cheers,

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
