Note: I think this post is going to cost me some readers or at least will create some visceral reactions. Feel free to hit me with your best insults if you like. I can take it. I have to admit, as a German, I do not understand English football fans. Or English sports fans in general for that matter. Every time the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championships come along, the English pretend that their team is one of the favourites to win the title. Nobody else in the entire world thinks that England has anything more than a slightly above-average team, but England fans are convinced they are going to win it this time – only to be devastated when their team crashes out of the tournament in the group stages or at the latest in the quarter-finals.
