    the last time there were this many americans in England, we were bailing you out of WWII.

    Americans, North or South? US involvement in WWII wasn't simply to bail "England" out.

    I wouldn't try. They do like their revisionist history.

    Really??? Unless you are an athlete IN THE OLYMPICS, YOU have nothing to brag about. Just another smear America thread that doesn't belong on this website anyway. Grow up.

    Not really trying to bash, but what's the point of creating a thread saying, hey you’re only beating us by a good bit, not by a lot. Either way, America still has more medals.

    Bailing us out or not, what matters is our grandfathers and or great grandmothers and grandfathers all fought for our independence, who cares about the rest, the rest is irrelevent, they were all hero's from the US or the UK. that herritage should not be a topic of debate but a topic of reflection and respect

    Gold/Silver/Bronze TOTAL

    1 China 32 19 14 65
    2 United States 29 15 19 63
    3 Great Britain 19 12 12 43

    Population USA: 311,591,917
    Population GB: 62,641,000

    I'm not sure why population of the country matters when all it takes to win a gold medal is one person. One very excellent athlete that is. Someone who has trained very hard for a very long time and probably wouldn't want us bickering over which country is better. I think all of them who compete are great and should be VERY proud of themselves. But.... GO USA!!! haha :))

    Don't be so sensitive. A bit of friendly banter never hurt anyone.

    I'm an American and I think it's great. I don't care who wins the most gold medals, it's all about the athletes in the end. All this "who won more medals" mumbo jumbo can beat it.

    I'm with you. Whatever Lochte brings home or Phelps or anyone else is really not any reflection on me anyway. I celebrate the athletes for what they achieve, but I don't take credit for it.

    While we are on the subject of celebrating athletes, how about that guy from South Africa running 100m in 10 seconds! That is something to celebrate and I'm not even from South Africa!

    And I just want to add one more thing... a vast majority of Americans share a mutual heritage with the British in the first place so why are we even debating this.

    You know, I WAS rooting for GB to win any event in which the USA could not. Weak @ss trash talk like the OP makes me want to rethink that.

    The only Olympic sports that matter are Hockey and Short Track Speedskating, this thread is 2 years too early (or late).

    You may want to remember that the Yanks helped you win WW2......I know you're young, but England asked the US for help at the same time we were fighting the Japs in the Pacific.......The Germans literally had 80 % of Europe occupied and were invading Africa as well............

    You may be speaking German today if it were for the US.............just something to thik about........
    At least if Germany had won we wouldn't have to listen to egotistical American boasting.

    I'm just a Canadian who's going to sit out of this. Hell, one of our runners fell on the track the other day, I couldn't help but laugh.
