FOX Soccer analyst Kasper Schmeichel recently compared the English national soccer team to the Dallas Cowboys, citing their shared history of underperforming despite high expectations. However, other US sports teams may be more similar to England in terms of their struggles and devoted fan bases.
Comparing England to US Sports Teams
Schmeichel’s comparison of England to the Cowboys is apt, but the Chicago Bears may be a more fitting analogy. Like England, the Bears have a dedicated fan base and a history of disappointment, with only one Super Bowl win in the last 40 years.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are another team that draws comparisons to England. Both have a rich history of success, but have struggled in recent years, with the Leafs’ last Stanley Cup win coming in 1967. The New York Knicks, who recently won the NBA championship after a 50-year drought, may also be seen as similar to England, with their long-suffering fan base and history of heartbreak.
The New York Mets, who have not won a World Series since 1986, are another team that may be compared to England. Like the English national team, the Mets have a history of high expectations and disappointing results, with a loyal fan base that continues to support them despite their struggles.
