cherished tradition.

hot, there are always people at a football stadium. TVs in
pubs will show the latest news related to the various teams
and leagues that inhabit England. Football dominates the
sports page of newspapers regardless of whether there was
a game that day or not. It is a large force in England.
Teams play weekly, sometimes twice or three times a week
and the games are followed avidly by fans. Rivalries run
hot and tension lives in the stadiums during game day. It
is a joy to see for someone who adores the sport.
