your right mate,i dont understand football fans tbh,the only sport i follow and enjoy is boxing and although i admit i'd prefer to see an English (or failing that i'd settle for british) fighter win,a good fights a good fight.
whereas most football fans dont even seem to enjoy or care about the sport itself,just that their side wins.
if you enjoy watching football your home team playing should only be a bonus shouldnt it?
and like you said its sad for those Brits who genuinely enjoy football.
