There’s a lot to be said for the consistency of football fans around the world.  Of the few matches Jenn and I have been to in four different countries, we can confirm that generally there’s the same passion in the way the sporting-event-attending culture embrace the highs and lows of the game.

Interestingly, I have to give credit to FIFA and the way the same rules apply globally.  Football is really the World’s Beautiful Game, and I believe that the beauty could come from the universal adoption and standards.

So whether you’re here:

Lazio v Catania at Stadio Olympico, Rome, 30 March 2013

or here:

Republic of Korea v Peru at Suwon World Cup Stadium, 14 August 2013

The atmosphere is pretty much the same…
