have you ever tried a steak and kidney puddin slap bang in the middle of your paella, no ? and a drizzle of gravy ? , you've tasted nothing compared to heald green paella
I guess you understand the comparation.
For exemple violence in english football.
I worked for years in Camp Nou as security guard.
Those mythical fights vs english hooligans, where you finish (or start...) in punches and kicks with them.
Then when you finish your working day, in the dressing room, you listen your security guard mates saying:
"I can't understand them (English fans). Why they can not just stay and watch the match? Why need they always fighting and forming battles?".
Because is a part of their culture and way to feel football.
And Im not saying all english fans do this. I dont say it. I say that there is a part of them do it and sometimes is recognizable.
Football in England is a working class sport. In fact football was invented for english factories workers.
Here in Barcelona you can watch typical catalan bourgeois sitting in the stands at the Camp Nou. It's a sport very popular in high society.
In La Masía, the Barça school (children, teens, etc) you can see 2 kind of kids: 50% of kids that just have talent, and 50% of children of the Barcelona upper classes. Rich people and preppies mums who love to show off "my little Pol/Nil/Jan (or those catalan posh names) is playing in Barca).
There is a big connection between FC Barcelina and upper classes.
In England rich people used to be interested in other sports.
So you have to consider all that and know the social structure that surrounds football here and there for understand it.
