[citation][nom]SneakySnake[/nom]It's an african thing. The europeans hate it as much as we do, but fifa said they're not gonna get involved with anything cuz of the 'Culture' or some crap like that.And it's a lot more then 80,000, over a billion watch the world cup[/citation]
80000 in the stadium, roughly... but that's just a guess.
African thing or not, stupid sports ritual is stupid. Film at 11.
FIFA should have taken a stand on this, honestly, because it annoys far more fans than it appeases and deters new fans from even watching the sport.
Not that I care, because soccer is a joke of a game anyhow. 90 minutes of jogging and a 0-0 score is just not interesting...
