We thought we should take our opening inspiration from a Brit who managed to Crack America, so who better than the man himself – David Frost.
In peeping through the Keyhole he got underneath the skin of Richard Nixon, and took over the world with the 50 states firmly stored in his back pocket.
In our attempt to crack the greatest nation on God’s earth, we are offering a new take on all things SOCCER – a view from the country that gave birth to the telephone, the television and 4-6-0 – A Scottish Perspective.
