LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - British sportswear retailer JD Sports Fashion (JD.L) reported a slightly worsening fall in underlying sales in the key Christmas trading period, with improved trends in the United States offset by weaker markets in Europe.JD Sports, which makes about 40% of its revenue in North America, said group sales on a like-for-like basis fell 1.8% in the nine weeks to January 3, versus a 1.7% fall in the third quarter.
