Hi,
I just love the world cup ! (ironinc tone...)
Just yesterday, as one of my Portugese neighbor in France wen't wild driving like crazy (at least 70 km/h in a 30 km/h residential area) and using his horn, I went to his hours trying to tell his wife to leash her dog.
In her unwillingness to respond to the doorbell, I went nuts myself and removed the Portugese end Brazilian Flag the neighbour had set up hanging from his roof and put them in his mailbox.
I know that it wasn't really smart to do.
As an end result, the neighbour came back after the Portugese defeat, and went totally nuts, insulting me around the whole block and speaking out death threats, insulting me for being a racist and that I will pay for this. Other neighbors had to call the police to make them calm him down and the unleashed dog just stayed up guarding his porch for 3 hours until late at night, speaking (or hopefully being reasoned) with another neighbour.
...Morality: I just love sportive bahavior of people.
Finally, I recall two sentences about soccer:
The first one from a cab Driver in Marseille: "Concerning soccer, we'd have to buy 21 balls in order for the players not to have all to run behind the same ball."
The second one: "Soccer is the only sport for which poor people pay to watch billionnaires run!"
I can't help myself from thinking that both phrases somehow contain awfully true images.
As an end result, I'm considering on hanging a flag myself to my roof ; I'm not sure anyone will really catch the humor of hanging a EU-Flag ! (Sorry about the non EU contries , but I do not know about a world Flag ; well actually, isn't there a U.N Flag ?)
