Fascinating, maybe. But mostly worrying. I find football interesting and entertaining, but the celebrations and accompanying pride is totally out of proportion. It's just a sport, not a matter of ethnic pride. I actually shuddered at the sight of so many flags out on the streets. But anyway...
Tomorrow I'll be supporting Japan, Ghana and Cameroon
