Damnn, why are you all so sensitive, I'm not aiming at someone at this forum at all
Go out and celebrate your victory I'd say
I'm basically copying what my american friends told me earlier today
maybe I should ask you guys, how many people actually watch the game?
How many people are celebrating now, and if they lost they wouldn't even care?
Do they know their own players? Do they follow a club team? ...
as someone who's been across the globe enough.... i can say it's more or less the same.
Obviously more football fans in football centric countries, but NT stuff is generally a big party.
There are die hards who watch all games, there are those who are casual who's interest heightens around world cup. There are those who are literally just there cause it's an 'event'
You see it in all sports tho, ex. I live in SF, which won 2 of last 3 world series in baseball. There are ALOT more SF giants fans since they got good. But i also know some people who watched them non-stop.
As someone who's been to milan, i saw A LOT more milan jerseys and interest in 03-05 than i did last year. Heck look at spain, i don't recall spain being THIS insane about football 10-15 years ago, as they were last 6 years.
It's just how it is. Not everyone is die hard.

Personal experience, watched game at a bar, was packed, I'd say most people there were fans because 3pm monday isn't easiest time to get off work. But some weren't. But i know sunday's game v. portugal on a day no1 works, off of a win today will attract 3 times as many bandwagoners. Just how it is.
I hink it's cool those who aren't deep into it wanna celebrate. But they won't feel it as deeply as those diehards which have followed team for a decade and make point to watch random qualifiers on shitty quality video from el salvador for ex.
