Which football?
I’m European, so actual football. The other one works too tho. What matters is the dynamic of “my team is always right, the other is always wrong, I’ll punch you in the face for it”
Um... that's a perfect example of why you need to avoid cultural references when use analogies.
When you said "like football" I thought you meant "any time you face a challenge, pass the ball to someone else". Where I come from, that's what "like football" means. And it's not necessarily a negative thing, maybe the new person with the ball won't struggle with the same challenge... and when they inevitably face a challenge of their own they might pass the ball back to you... with your original challenge now long gone.
I still wouldn’t bet against America. As a Tottenham fan, I have bet against Chelsea many times based on pure and justified loathing and ended up sad until American sports come on TV.
