There sure seems to be a lot of people waaaay too into sports.

[Mr Punch]

Waaaay too much! You wanna see the streets outside the net cafe where I am right now!!! Japan just qualified 2-0. Good goals, but can't really see the fuss...

Whats so evil about this? About time that the media realised that the vast majority of football fans are not violent troublemakers, but are genuinely interested in the sport.

"The Japanese people have been so polite and kind, why would we want to cause them problems after what they have done for us," explains Kev, a cab driver from London. "

Says it all.

BTW, football bores the hell out of me. :)

Frank.

As an Englishman, I don't think I should be having to explain sarcasm to you.

Football bores the **** out of me. It was more a comment on international perceptions of overhyped media phenomena. If it didn't interest you see how quickly this thread would sink...

LMAO @ "the perception of the English fans as a weapon of mass destruction that failed to detonate"

Good on the fans that displayed good behaviour. All the arseholes obviously couldn't afford flights to Japan.
