We may be passionate about football over here in the UK, but we don’t overdo it to the extent that we decapitate the referee when we disagree with a decision, like they do over in South America sometimes.
Neither do we risk life and limb by cramming ourselves into stadiums that are already filled to capacity, as was the case when Nigeria took on Egypt in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday.
A reported 40,000 spectators crammed themselves into a 25,000 capacity stadium, even climbing on top of the scoreboard and floodlights.
