No matter how long you live in a country, it’s difficult to become a native.
My Swedish friend Jonas is a Michigan fan.
He posted this on Facebook along with his Swedish friends’ comments;
A guy just approached me and said pointing to my Michigan hat, “I hate everything that hat stands for”. Smiling at him I said, “You saw the game last night?”:
Jonas Gustavsson I like how the game played out last night
Sven Flodin Was he an American Hooligan 🙂
Håkan Lindell And did you defend the colors of your team…………… Is he still alive?
Jonas Gustavsson One of the most exciting games of any sport I have ever seen. In the last 2 minutes the winner of the game changed at least 3 times, but Michigan prevailed and won over Notre Dame. Clare came up with the funniest comment though. Michigan used a move to win called “The Hail Mary move”, a term used in catholic faith, ironic that Michigan would used the move against a catholic college.

Flutie flushed………throws it down………CAUGHT BY BOSTON COLLEGE! I don’t believe it! It’s a touchdown! The Eagles win it!

Peter Nolan Smith Hail mary pass indeed. Not hail mary move.
Those silly Swedes.
