In England football seems to serve a different purpose than in virtually ever other country, it becomes a focus for hatred .. whether it is of the opposition, the manager, poor performing player or anything .. is this just our cultural problem or does it exist elsewhere. The vision of France and Brazillians mixing amicably is a stark contrast to our people. I watched a few matches in pubs on TV in Spain recently, the only flag waving was done by the English everyone else just treated it as bit of fun... even the Dutch guys I was talking to during the Holland / Portugal match.
The aggression and selfishness of drivers on our roads contrasts remarkably with the courtesy of drivers on the continent ..
Walking about continental towns at night there are no fights or yobbish behaviour ..
do I have a very skewed perception or is there an endemic cultural behavioural problem in this country?
