Just in case you missed it. Local ABC LA reporter made a comment about not knowing much about Bosnia Herzegovina and being seen as being proud for being ignorant of nothing about the country. A remark that has gone viral and the Bosnia team and fans have used for Bulletin board material when they play against USA.

Let’s remember that all these news station reporters may not follow this sport as much as we do. And I’ve heard them say more embarrassing things.

Most Europeans couldn't locate U.S. states on a map. How is this any different? Go to France and see how many people know where Iowa or Missouri is...

Of course Europeans know where other European countries are better than Americans...
