The USA is a very young country and to me many Americans act like I think of teenagers ,very enthusiastic, interested in things that are rather dangerous( like guns and fast cars),more in tune with physical things like appearance ,sporting prowess etc . If something is deemed to be what most see as popular, they adopt it almost as if that proves it must be correct ,not a lot of critical assessment.

In my experience, it seems like in the USA a lot of teenagers just seem to want to do nothing but get drunk either on a boat on a a car. All I see on American police videos is DUI/DWI's usually always young girls or young men. Whilst in the UK we do of course have drink drivers too it seems very common and quite a "popular" thing to do in the USA.

Americans are loud in general, but are also some of the friendliest people I've ever met. They do come across as a bit fake sometimes during conversations but they are genuinely interested in what you have to say.

I have some wonderful friends stateside. Have been so fortunate to work in America in the Summer of 1978. You just have to experience an amazing country and wonderful people. Yes they USA centric, yes they believe the Hollywood version of history. Yes many think they won the war. The tourists are a minority and we should not judge a n entire nation one wealthy globe trotters. Most Americans work hard with little holiday many don’t leave there own state let alone have a passport. The British and Americans values are the same. Why fo the British take the piss out of Americans? Well they ask for it, be fair though the British take the piss out of ourselves more.

Just my opinion, but it seems to me that Americans are raised to be ‘Winners’, whether individually or as a nation. The focus is on competition, which starts from a very early age with Little League, coaching, pageants, and specific goals. They have long ladders to climb in order to reach the top. The average citizen lives in an almost permanent state of anxiety about achieving, graduating, college, and finding big careers that pay well. Brits in general are more laid back about their future when they reach school-leaving age. Good final exam results to qualify for college or university are the last barrier to adulthood but they are then more likely to take a gap year overseas first before signing up for another three or four years of education. They might even change their minds entirely during that year and decide on a different path altogether. The attitude is more along the lines of ‘Whatever’. Compare the YT videos on football chants to illustrate what I’m trying to say here. The USA example is a straightforward ‘I believe that we will win!’. That’s it, nothing else. The British ones are loud, varied, sung raucously, often spontaneous (eg ‘You’re sh*t, but your birds are fit’ when playing an international match against Sweden), and almost all renditions are abusive, possibly libellous, and/or obscene.😊

I think history was an excellent answer. It has had a massive effect on our culture. History will always show us the answers to so many future issues.

Had a great time in Oregon back in the 90s. Everyone we met were friendly, one bunch we met in a Bar in Kittitas County inviting us to a local Rodeo to watch them perform.

Sports? Start out with a local club. Work up through the age grades, get noticed. Or, as a young child with a huge amount of potential, get hired/scouted by a professional club academy. No guarantee they'll become a professional player, but the pathways are always there. Neighbours are from the US (he originally from Baltimore, she from Louisville - Maryland, if i recall her saying). Been here 10 months now. Took them a good seven months to finally relax. They've now become good family friends.

I love the way Americans are so appreciative of our history. The ones I have met were lovely and wanted to make friends. I like to see people as individuals and I try not to generalise. Good and bad everywhere!

I like your Channel because you are so real. I’m someone who can fluff up every two minutes then splutter for ages trying to mosey through. You however take a breath and carry on. I’m going to try that because it seems to work.

All you need to know about America is that later this year you will have the very best 2 people in America, the most agile, brilliant and decent people going head to head for the Presidency, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. That is like entering 2 sandwiches for the world Sandwich Championships and choosing dust and dog sh*t as your 2 fillings.

On politics: we don’t gave liberals in Europe?? WTH? What’s considered left in the USA would be centre right in Europe.

You have one interior political situation, and then a very far-reaching exterior political situation, which is what the rest of the world cares about quite a lot!

We do have 'College Sports' here but it's known as 'Varsity' matches, games or races between Oxford and Cambridge Universities with various players selected from their many Colleges, nothing else is as big. The annual boat race, usually on the Thames, has one of the biggest crowds in the UK watching it (around a quarter of a million on the banks of the Thames) and it's televised live aswell. Varsity Rugby was the same but is becoming less popular and they have even downsized on the venue, as it's gone from around 70,000 plus in attendance to, 15,000 to 20,000 in recent years.

Sports peoples are usually trained and recruited in sports clubs, out of the educative system.

I worked for an American company and everyone was great. Generous and talkative, I don't think we are really that different with the exception that Americans are definitely louder

Despite being called the land of the free. The American government restricted the information about other countries. This resulted in America become very American centric while reducing their knowledge and exposure to other countries. This only started to change with the introduction of internet.

Aussie here. Cant speak for the UK and Europe but from my perspective US politics is totally polarised. Youre either one or the other with no middle ground. In Australia people have differing opinions on political parties and issues butits not something we'll die on a particular hill for. Most people just agree that you cant trust politicians or the Prime Minister. Theyre all treated with great scepticism. On an individual basis Americans Ive met and worked with have been kind friendly and genuine. But can still be brash and opinionated which rubs the wrong in Australia. In geoups out of their own country the stereotype fits loud brash opinionated arrogant with American expectations of other places.

I do not know what the lady wrote about Americans showing disrespect to the Queen's Guard but it no doubt came under the ever-expanding category of "hate-speech" and there is no doubt that free speech in tge UK without the constitutional protections that exist in the USA is under threat (especially lately in Scotland). It's just as well that many of us hold back from saying what we really think otherwise we would likely be arrested. Also, people in the UK and especially England are made to feel guilty about flying national flags or even singing the national anthem in a way unheard of in the USA. The singer representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest on Sweden last week described the UK's flag, the Union Jack, as "divisive". There are some calling for the flag of England, the St George's Cross, to be banned. When the late Queen died, the Chineke! orchestra, based in Britain and enjoying public funding, refused to play the national anthem "God save the King", on the grounds of its being racist, colonialist and likely to trigger offence in members of that group. Somehow, I do not think the Stars and Stripes and "The Star-spangled Banner" would be likely to suffer similar treatment in the USA.

I agree with the older lady. When I was in America I found the Americans friendly, welcoming and very respectful.

An English teacher who gets mixed up between England and the UK. You couldn't make it up, lol.

From having lived/worked in both countries, with my children, we feel it isn't primarily music or films which cloud Americans' awareness of the Britain (or anywhere else). Rather, it's the lack of an international perspective in the US's very blinkered public school curriculum.

Brit here, you said it well lad . The American reactions such as you seem funny, ok and not loud at all but I can assure you we all don't drink tea. Myself drink coffee and not posh . I'm northern and we're known fir our pisstakung and humour

I have met Americans when on holiday and they were friendly and interested in you.Also they were very generous and some even invited me to their homes if I go to their country.

Kids play sports, it's just not connected to schools/colleges. At least in Sweden, it's either at a local sports club, or kids can join one of the major clubs junior section.

I'd take a smattering of Americans' general optimism and positivity. We're all so cynical in the UK, can sometimes be good as it makes us more realistic, but it can go too far. Can I have your national parks too please, thank you. 😍

But looking at their credit card debt/non asset based loans, many are living above their means.

Large football and rugby clubs, for example, have their own academies where players attend full time and train and receive schooling (usually at a local school) but hardly ever gain college/university degrees. The big football clubs scout for academy players from grassroots/local sport at a very young age. For other elite athletes (eg swimming, track and field) you might attend a sports university like Loughborough or Bath to train at an elite level and get a degree but many just attend school up to 18 and play their sport around it at a club or individually. We don’t have a draft system in team sports so young athletes just sign a contract very early on though they may be bought by another team if they are good.

I think something that's easily missed re: politics is that it's not just the politics itself, but identity politics. I mean look at how many people pointed out loud and brash - I think people on all corners of the political spectrum would agree the Orange Man fits that description. I think we're often a bit weirded out by how often you turn to the showman instead of the statesman.

I know a lot of relly lovely, intelligent Americans, from travelling there, from work, from social media. Most of them always are at first taken aback by some of the cultural differences but then very open minded about it all and genuinely interested. The one thing that annoys me the most is that they want to 'buy' you everything...a drink, a coffee, a lunch...where we would say 'get'with no hint of money being involved at all, haha!

I’ve learned that there are several different Americas, the cities in the north east don’t seem to have much in common with the south, the mid west is different again, Texas and California are like different countries from each other as well as from the rest of the states. Also the impressions we get from media, both fictional tv and movies and from the news, rarely hold up when we actually meet Americans. Here’s an odd thing, you think our food is bad, we think your food is terrible.

You're different we love you. You are obviously interested in us and Britain as a whole.

I think Yorkshire people are like New Yorkers, We tell it how it is. Being upfront and honest can sometimes get you into trouble.

Brighton is on the south coast of England

I can't speak for the British, but in Australia, you can play sports at high school and of a weekend for clubs in all sports and at all levels so your local football club will have under 6's so 5 year oldest playing in a team. For example, the Australian rugby league team, the Newcastle Knights, is owned by the Western Suburbs League Club and has under 6's. It also has many different sports at all ages levels, eg. cricket, netball teams, and swimming, to name a few.

You get players for your professional sports team by recruiting and training them, or scouting them. We not only have grassroots football, but our (England's) top league hasn't cut itself off from the "minor leagues" for the last 70 years. College sports might get relegated (new term to US sports) if those NFL academies in rugby-playing nations manage to intercept potential rugby players. There are more than 1,800 teams in the first 11 levels of the English football league system, and below that there are more than 4,700 teams playing in regional leagues. Some of those 6,500+ clubs/teams also have youth academies and youth teams (there is both an Under 21 and Under 18 equivalent of the Premier League), and smaller teams might be feeder teams for bigger clubs. There may be 20 football clubs in the English Premier League, but England alone has over 40,000 football clubs. I sat next to a member of West Ham's sports academy in maths class, a former housemate was a member of the England Women's squad (I forget the club she also played for), and a couple of friends at secondary school played for both our school year's football team as well as a local youth team. If the scouts and academies aren't interested and you're just in it for the sport, you can always create your own team and play youth/senior league football with your friends with the potential of promotion to the higher leagues. I knew a team that started as an Under 12's team who wanted to play football together despite being from different schools. I've not watched them play since around 2000 and have likely forgotten some names, so I can only say at least 5 of the original players were in the team's season lineup 25 years later when they were in a 16th level league.

Brighton, tourist town on South Coast near me (Eastbourne)

Believe me Connor. We do have fat people in the UK. Some are VERY fat !! If he'd gone to a different town and asked working class people what they think, the answers would have been a lot different. As far as football goes. You start playing at school, then play for a Saturday/Sunday junior team , then , if you're good enough, you play for an adult team. You might play for the local town team. And so on until , one day, you could be spotted by a football scout and achieve your dreams of playing for a league side.

Hello Connor. I find these sort of street interviews say more about the people being interviewed. Regurgitating stereotypes. I'm from England and a Londoner and lived in NYC for a while and even there I found Americans to be friendly and charming. Also everywhere else in my many travels in the US almost all contacts I made with the people have been great. People from both sides of the Atlantic can be put into groups to prove whatever. OK a bit louder and whatever but that's nothing more than the way people are there. Doesn't equate to anything negative. When I meet Americans in London it always makes my day.

I've been to America twice now, both times to Disney world Florida and for the most part the people where friendly, like sure there was a few rude people but name one place that doesn't. Though I do remember not only 30 minutes in America I saw a guy who styled himself like Donald trump with the fake blonde hair, fake orange tan and blue suit, it was the funniest thing I saw during my whole two week stay.

I think British people’s views of Americans are viewed through the lens of the media in general, social media and Hollywood or when they are a tourist. I have worked with Americans and been a tourist in their country in quite a few states (not just California, New York & Florida). In my opinion, Americans are warm, friendly, outgoing, confident, positive, generous, honest, funny (ha, ha), direct, patriotic and intelligent (they would be surprised I said that). Some can be a bit naive in that they think people outside of their borders automatically share the same world view as them and I agree with the second guy that they could increase their knowledge of the culture of other countries (good and bad). America is not corrupt compared to many countries around the world and is not hypocritical either. It has no class system. What is happening in America now is the direction of travel for countries around the world particularly with regard to advances in tech affecting the gap between rich & poor and how people behave. I agree with the guy that said there should be college sports system here. That would be huge. Talent needs to be found and seen in the UK.

British people holds back what they're feeling sad where American speak out more it takes a bit for us to say what we've got to say

Most are people with negative opinions have never met any Americans or been there. I served with GI's and there are good and bad. Like everywhere!

I have had good experiences of American and bad ones. I know some who are intelligent and some who seem to not understand that no matter what they might think, the dollar is not legal tender in the UK

Americans have a "can do" attitude that anything is possible. This might not necessarily be the case, but they believe it. Aligned to this is their attitude to success, which they celebrate. Here, Britain and Ireland, people will resent you if you are successful, put you in your place. Americans can be loud, unsubtle and lack understatement . They are also quite insular, to them America is the world, with little or no appreciation of other cultures. Quite patriotic. However, having travelled across America, I found the people to be open and very friendly.

Sports have club systems. For badminton there is intra-county tournaments and a level above is county teams. I like how there isn’t any age or educational barrier to success in sports here. I also wish there was the sort of professional-level funding and audiences US college sports have

I do find your assessment on the variety of American political views interesting. Though it makes wonder why Americans don't have more popular third parties instead of just Republican or Democrat

I love Americans. Always been really kind and polite. You get loud people, fat people, ignorant people, rude people just as much here in the UK. Geographical and cultural knowledge is more extensive in Europe, only because for the land mass area, there are so many more cultures in the same size of space on this side of the pond. Within Europe there's also a vast number of different political institutions and different set ups. For broadly the same number of people, the US has one political system. Europe has more people and the land mass is more populated and spread out.

A lot of American sitcoms were actually based off British sitcoms. They times I’ve been in the U.S I found everyone very rude and arrogant so I’m always shocked when people found them friendly. Most Americans are only patriotic because they are brainwashed from childhood that the U.S is number 1 and the greatest but most of them never travel outside the country to realized most of what they have been taught really isn’t true. The guy who said college sport doesn’t seem to realize that colleges sports are one of the reasons colleges are so expensive since because they teams suck up so much of the money coming in, I’m sorry but a college shouldn’t have a stadium as big as a large cities.

I love good people where ever they are on Earth, includes American's ❤❤❤

American tourists are discovering countries beyond the US. That's a plus.

We find the American’s attitude to their country’s flag very weird. For us flags aren’t a display of patriotism except in the context of an international sports match. There’s a very few times and places (St George’s Day, above the outside of government buildings, but definitely not inside) when flags don’t make us think of Nuremberg in the 1930s, and that’s a very bad kind of devotion to a country’s leadership.

there's also over-weighted peoples in Europe, but not as much as in the US, i guess.

I don’t agree about the US political spectrum being wider. What I do think is evident is that UK mainstream politics starts further to the left so people in the more left wing US democrat party who support gun culture and the death penalty etc are further to the right, at least socially, than our mainstream right wing party (conservatives) who support nationalised healthcare, higher taxes, and restrictions on guns etc. Our Labour Party is closer to the most left wing bit of the US democrat party. And we have really left wing Labour MPs who don’t have a counterpart in US politics at all.

Loud mostley and love guns. Mainers are polite, neighbourly and as my daughter has found out romantic. Thumbs up on the whole.

I like individual Americans. Mind you, I've only met them outside America, so they are the ones who actually bothered to see a world outside their own country. En masse, though, they tend to exhibit bad behaviour. And their country is well broken, due to politics (if you can call it that) and money. #FallOfTheAmericanEmpire

The Americans I know are very nice people. I have visited the USA on a few occasions and found them friendly and helpful. The news however shows the extreme ones of avid political persuasions who don't do the average American any justice at all. The news about the religious fervour which can sometimes be just so over the top and devoid of any contact with reality (just as an eg " I won't have an inoculation because I am bathed in the blood of Jesus") really is just a very poor representative of most Americans, I think. Right now, the nation does seem to be so divided too.

culture and America does not go together

In pretty much all sports around the world kids are recruited from very young ages to clubs and teams, the entire concept of college sports is utterly utterly pointless and imo is detremental to professional sports. You have to understand what good would college sports do when its fairly common for players to play their first games professionally at 16 in football. By the time lionel messi was 19 he was one of the best players in the world, why would he go to uni and waste years playing sub par sports, in fact why go to uni at all, like seriously whats the point theyre sports stars making millions they dont need a degree. The usa has weird child labour laws so you cant recruit like you can in the rest of the world, also we dont really give a shit about our unis, teams are developed around the local community, people want to support where theyre from not some school most of them didnt go to

I didn't know how americans were till I lived there,I know a few who are nice but I heard very loud people even though they were close to who they were talking to. I am british and was asked questions but I would never go back there. Some were thin and some were fat like here in uk.

When are you coming to Europe? Come to England man, I'm looking to your vids of England.

I always thought until social media, mainly youtube, America was blissfully ignorant of everyone else and in their eyes were the best and didn't care. As you say you dont know what you dont know. I am in Wales so England is more immersed in the rest of the world. Some things seem to be slower to reach us. I work in a shop so I do see other cultures and while there is a cultural barrier to a degree most people seem polite. Likewise our view of America is largely based on what comes out of your country, tv programmes and to a degree the news. I will be honest a lot of what is being said rings true to what I hear, but things are changing. We have sports in schools and somehow it works. I guess if you stand out at sport you get noticed. A lot of people may say our country is crap but I dont think they really believe that, I think most of us are proud of where we live, the proof of which is how annoyed we're getting at the idiots who are running it.

I think that many Americans are rather naive in many respects about the rest of the world, though obviously it depends on education level. I have known many Americans, particularly from an academic background, who have strong similarities in terms of world view and insight into other cultures. But there are way too many who for whatever reason have been failed by the education system and are very naive, especially about anything outside their own country or even their immediate locality. I am watching lots of videos about the current election campaigns, and am appalled by some of Trump's supporters. That level of cultural and educational deprivation is totally foreign to western Europe. Bits of the USA resemble a third world country. And yes, you can be loud. I do voluntary work and a few years ago a young American woman joined our team and after training started dealing with phone calls to our clients. Even though she had a sign pinned up saying "indoor voice" no-one else in the room could concentrate when she was speaking. She also had a degree of misplaced and naive self-confidence which sometimes outpaced her actual understanding of the issues in a British context. I think that quite a few Americans find it hard to take on board that other countries, even those that speak much the dame language as you, have very different laws and customs.

Oh bless you - just google suella braveman (she’s hatingly called Cruella) 😅

You need money to pursue most sports in the UK, it’s very snobby

There are negative stereotypes/traits about people from all countries and cultures. Americans, however, always seem to be an easy target for criticism using tropes like "loud and overweight". I've traveled a lot and the Americans I've met have always been great people. As a Brit, I find these types of "interviews" with Europeans looking down their noses at Americans quite unfair.

Everyone still plays sports at school and if they want, after that. Scouts would go and see them if they were good enough to play professionally. We just don’t go and watch them all

i travelled around america in 2008 and i noticed they dont really pay much attention to whats going on in the rest of the world, bearing in mind that america is huge! so their opinions/views on other countries can be qute ignorant and very outdated.

That comment and Trump is certainly not true in general, there are plenty of people, who, like me, love him. I think the political divide is pretty much the same in all English speaking nations.

You have no left wing politics at all. Your "socialists" are far right to Brits. There really is no spectrum in US politics. You have far right and extreme far right.

I've met some nice Americans in my travels. People are individuals after all, not a hive mind. That said. if asked to sum up America in one sentence? I'd say it's the biggest open insane asylum in the world and the residents are allowed guns.

I feel like Americans are so animated it’s unreal

Very shy whole backmoor won't speaker were feelings assure them very shy people
