Football

Football is a religion in Great Britain and quite a successful one. Watching a football game is a must for understanding British culture. My turn was today when I sat in front row at a Fulham FC game against Blackburn Rovers. Beautiful weather, a splendid football pitch 10 feet away from me, a sold out stadium and 23 men running all over the field for a white ball.
The result doesn't matter. It's the atmosphere , the chants, the pre-game beer and green grass sprinkled at the beginning of each half.
