It's hard to understand or even explain.
But when you see tons of people you recognise from back home on foreign soil, it's just an amazing feeling. And nothing with my group of mates would ever get organised if there wasn't a game on. The football is the reason people travel over, but it's (by far) the least important aspect of the trip.

We'll have to agree to disagree
I've never felt the 'tribal' thing and never understood the whole football thing. If me and my mates want to go somewhere - we just go! On more than one occasion it really has been 'stick a pin in the map and go to the nearest city to the hole' and jolly good times were had.

I'd do that, happily.
It's the fact that the others wouldn't.
