Looks like you're getting downvoted hard. However, I know the point you're trying to make.

I don't get it and I'm dying to know. Is his comment drive-by envy or a drive-by compliment?

My take was there were many Americans applauding their modesty and humility. Yet being from Europe (Ireland in particular) one is taught from a young age not to get a big head etc. So this comment was "This sort of humility and sharing or deflecting the praise is quite normal in Europe"
