How Americans see Europe

I remember telling people where I was moving (from Texas to Finland), and the overwhelming majority said, "Where?" I guess we fall into the area of unknowns like Estonia, Latvia, etc. Sad... Notice.. no mention of hockey, either. Odd considering that you have 4 real powerhouses that play the US on a regular basis (Finland, Sweden, Russia and Czech Republic). That football stuff is really big here too, except the ball isn't shaped all funny.
