You have to dress up the house with many afwul vanes. You need to recite the first two lines of the national anthem. You need to take side with the national team in the play itself. And you need to speak special football language and listen to experts on tv who think up new special football language butin doing so haven't changed any match result ever. In some circles of soccer fundamentalists large quantities of specific intoxicating beverages are obligatory.(June 20, 2010 at 6:13 am)Purple Rabbit Wrote: But don't they see that soccer for fans is a religious thing!
IMO soccer for fans is much better than religion as it does not tell you how to lead your life.

Nevertheless I agree with you that unreason comes in all colours and shades we're free to choose, dislike or like and I would add that the fun factor for fundamentalist soccer fans generally has a higher rating whereas the pretention factor regarding the impact on the universe generally rates lower.
