Kasper Schmeichel Likens England to 5-Time Cowboys as FOX Column Maps 4 North American Analogs

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 18

Summary

  • AT&T Stadium set up the joke: FOX analyst Kasper Schmeichel said England are like the Dallas Cowboys because they "won it once and have never stopped talking about it."
  • That line drove a broader FOX column matching England with four North American teams defined by big expectations and long title droughts or repeated collapses.
  • Chicago's Bears were pitched as the tighter NFL fit than Dallas because they have 1 Super Bowl title and little recent success, mirroring England's single World Cup in 1966.
  • Toronto's Maple Leafs, the 2026 champion Knicks and baseball's Mets rounded out the list as examples of fanbases carrying history, hype and frequent disappointment.
