It's all a good giggle, and there's nothing wrong with making a show of yourself in public. For example; people in Holland who don't paint their faces orange and look normal instead :wink: :wink:
I remember Euro'96 in Liverpool, where a number of the matches were played. There was an influx of foreign supporters and it was actually a great chance to meet lots of different nationalities all with a common interest. One Friday night I and some friends were stood outside a bar on one of the main streets which is lined with other bars (it is Liverpool after all), and one of the underdog teams had just won a match, I forget which but Romania springs to mind. As it was Friday it was incredibly busy with everyone winding down after the week. Later on the foreign team's supporters (sheepishly) paraded up the same street in a quiet celebration, flags and all, and all the people from the bars came out and gave them a round of applause and cheers as they walked up the street.
It can turn nasty with the 1% of dickheads, but 99% love it for the good things it can bring.
