FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED WATCHING THE WORLD CUP ON AMERICAN SOIL:
5) Hot Swedish girls love America
Europeans are falling in love with the United States, and why wouldn’t they? Air conditioning. Free refills. Ice. Waffle House. Pure joy. Most Europeans have never experienced these everyday aspects of American life.
One of these World Cup tourists is a Swedish woman named Elsa. She recently reported having an “out of body experience” at Golden Corral, and documented her first ever encounter with ranch dressing and bacon-wrapped tater tots. “I kinda understand why a lot of Americans never leave the country, like why would you?” she wrote. “It has everything.”
Maybe she’s just trolling for clicks. Who cares? It’s still sad, but not surprising, that a random Swedish babe can appreciate—or at least pretend to appreciate—this country’s greatness but the New York City mayor cannot.
