What's With This Jersey Parade During Friday Prayer?

I get it. The world will welcome the biggest sport event - FIFA World Cup. Even though I don't any team to support since Malaysia did not make it this time around (or perhaps, for the next 50 years) - I do understand the eagerness of our people to embrace World Cup. I do.

This afternoon, I noticed that the amount of jemaah wearing international football jerseys are alarmingly noticeable. The most displayed jersey is obviously, since I went for Friday prayer in Malaysia, the nation of Three Lions - England (duh). Yes, the nation with 'golden generation' on every World Cup edition but eventually failed to win on every occasion, except in 1966 - which all Germans (and Germany fans) won't agree.
