Whilst people watch the matches, I also watch the players, referees & the spectators - I watch their behaviour. And I observe some pecularities. I start off with 1 :- The players - most of whom know each other and some are even teammates at club level. But often they resorted to rough play & even fought on the pitch. But almost immediately after they were sent off, they were seen chatting together like pals ! Is this normal or is this weird ? What you say ? Am sure there are other interesting observation too. Like to share ?

No problems. When the game is over, it is over. It is sort of an unwritten code of ethics. I suppose it is the same with football players. You have no friends on the field, but plenty of friends off the field.

Yes, I feel sorry for the referees sometimes, they have a tough job and often it's very difficult to tell 'who' is to blame... even when we get to see the slow motion replay.

Mainly at the World Cup I see a lot of emotion, expressed in many different ways, because everyone (players, spectators etc) is very passionate.

I love to see so many different nationalities supporting their countries.

Most of all I love the fact that I am English and in China watching and enjoying the games with my Chinese friends, it is a very unique experience.

And they have the enviable job of telling and punishing some VIP players ! The players will try to impress so that they can command a higher value from interested clubs - but they risk injuries, etc.
