I might be wrong but I think it was Gus Hanson who was being interviewed while here in the U.K at a tournament, and he was asked where it was better to play Poker, here in the U.K, or in the U.S,A,
He immediately answered The U.S.A. and when the interviewer asked Why? He replied there are more fish in the U.S.A.
Now I am not saying they are the worst players but in all honesty it is obvious that there is a huge difference between the size of the two Countries and their  respective populations, and it only follows that if you have a larger player pool, then you get more fish, and this is what he was referring to.
In reality you cannot label a Country or it's population, who are the best or worst players, as you cannot possibly play against them all, even in some of the biggest tournaments, you are usually sat at a table with 7 or 8 players at a time, so when it comes to moving to a new table a big proportion of players have already been eliminated.
So to refer to a population as to being Best/Worst is being in itself racist, You only have to google to find some of the better U. K. players,  Have you never heard of Sam Trickett, Rowland De wolfe, Jake Cody, and Stephen Chidwick just to name a few male players.
The biggest mistake Poker players can make is to underestimate their opponents, where ever they come from or what ever their gender is because I am sure there are a few Female player's I have not added.
