Interesting watching the World Cup visitor videos

Watching people from around the world coming to the U.S. and seeing what we are really like and not what is posted in the media is enlightening. Watching a couple of Brits being taught to eat ribs in Texas WITH THEIR FINGERS is hilarious, corn on the cob, fried chicken, and all kinds of interesting stuff. Not the bigoted, selfish people they expected from watching the media.
 
Big backlash in Japan. The Japanese male is in general not involved in anything domestic and that starts at a young age. There will be some conversation which will hopefully have a lasting impact.

I'm not sure why they choose now to create a "backlash" since the fans are continuing a Japanese tradition that began at the 1998 World Cup in France. At any rate, it is a very respectful gesture.

The backlash is on but in Japan. The demonstration of Japanese cleanliness and perfection is for show.
 
The British are coming.

I spent a lot of time with Brits and Aussies on leave in the early 1970s when Singapore and Hong Long were still British. I never saw any group enjoy drinking more than British sailors. After football matches of one ship against another, they would take over a pub or a club and sing and drink their hearts out, and there were cases of beer on the sidelines of the matches and the players would run by and chug a can or bottle as they ran past. When it came to drinking pura and simple though, I never met anyone to top the Aussies. I spent one long weekend with a group of Aussies soldiers on R&R in Hong Kong and their drinking never stopped FOR THREE STRAIGHT DAYSAND NIGHTS. I would crash for a few hours and awaken to find them down in the bar drinking their breakfast. Drinking themselves sober is what they called it. It was amazing. American sailors can drink a lot when they pull into port. They make college frat parties look like child's play, but nobody on my experienced can top the Aussies for sheer quantity, and no one enjoys it as much as the British. I, admittedly, haven't spent time with the Germans though.
