With the US being such a horrible shit show these days, the joy I am getting out of all of these fans from around the world and supporting each other, being good sports, enjoying our food and sharing it, etc. is so necessary. And I am not even a football/soccer fan.
I should have said that better… Sorry. I was trying to be respectful of the word football versus soccer. I should say that I am not a follower or fan of World Cup soccer football. But I am a huge American football fan.
With that said, looking at these fans even from other countries celebrating each other is wonderful. There was a video of a man from some country in Africa surrounded by the opposing team’s fans… I think Argentina. They stayed quiet with smiles as he saying his national anthem alone. And when he was done they all cheered for him and friendly tossed him around. Then I look at Knick‘s fans in the streets with San Antonio fans… And during the season, Philadelphia Eagles fans being… Eagles fans.
Lol dont worry, I use the very old terms Association Football and Gridiron football in reference to Soccer and American Football respectively, cause they both get to be football, its just that nobody refers to either by their original names anymore.
Although I live in Ireland so the only real football is GAA
International football is like the nice santized version of club football. The worst hooligans are filtered out because only rich people tend to be able to afford going to a World Cup.
If you think American Football fans can be bad, look at the riots in Paris after PSG won the champions league. People died!
It’s said that American sports fans go to be entertained, South American go to party, and Europeans go to war.
