Agreed: the lawn is much more important in anglo culture. Compare with Italian or French formal gardens. Britain has a temparate climate with high precipitation, which does make lawn cultivation easier than Mediterranean climates. Just take a look at tennis grass courts or cricket pitches in hotter climates like Australia. The Australian Open used to be played on grass, like Wimbledon, but switched to hard courts back in the 80s.

Considering the amount of money in football, the state of the pitches in England has more to do with the care and the method put into it than the weather. After all there are some pitches just as good in Spain. Barcelona probably pioneered the obsession with perfectly tailored grass.
