Translation misunderstanding. In this case "match" equals "compare", and his meaning is the same.
So all thats needed is any one of the dozens of examples from any one of the hundreds of tables that do the comparisons and simply pick any of the numerous countries that top the US.

The problem is that there are many different ways to compare countries. Which ones are valid?

Thats the point, it was a ridiculous claim August made in the first place.
Making it into a "two hundred year" claim makes it even more ridiculous as that brings in a whole range of negatives that many other countries didn't have.
Its funny that it was a tangent about vague and meaningless phrases, then he came up with one of his own and even tried to defend it
