I don't see any problem with this.
Football brings up a passion amongst people. A load of people crowded round a tv in a pub cheering on a team and all enjoying themselves. No harm in that.
Some company making a few extra £'s by branding some daily goods with world cup stuff, it's fun and again no harm done.
Also, if you "hate" your job, why the hell do you do it? You only live once...
Fair enough, I just get the feeling that it if you aren't joining in with it all you are looked down upon. Just can't seem to get away from it nowadays
Maybe its the area I live in. I was out in the town on Saturday night. As I walked down the highstreet, coming the other way was a group of very drunk fellas, whooping and hollering about England, etc, looking like they were just out to cause trouble. It's rather intimidating, and I have probably just managed to associate football with hooliganism round here.
It's the same with the England car flags debate. True, not everyone who has one on their car is a complete ****wit who cant drive, but I admit, that when I see a car full of chavs or other similar social stereotypes speed past with music pumping and England flags adorning every available crevice, I can't help but grind my teeth a bit, and then I associate such asshattery with anyone I see with those England flags hanging out of their cars.
And they took over my old company last week, need to look for another job.
