Football craze hits new heights!

What would you sacrifice to see your country win soccer's World Cup? Food for a week? Well according to a survey, it was found that fans are willing to lose a limb for their team's glory. Now that's weirdly extreme!

51(%) percent of respondents to the tongue-in-cheek survey of 20,000 people, who live in North America but hail from countries with teams in the June 11-July 11 World Cup, said they would starve themselves for a week if that would bring victory to their national squad.

More than 40 percent offered to give up dating for a year, while seven percent said they would gladly give up their job to see their country win the title.

It found that a majority of English respondents, 93 %, would give up food for a week to see England win, while some 70% of Italians would give up their job for an Italian victory.

Now if India were to qualify to the FIFA World Cup probably in the years to come, would you think Indians would give up Bollywood movies or cricket? :P

Oddly enough, no one said they would give up using cell phones or text messaging!

Football is like the biggest game in the world and the coming edition on the World Cup is going to have people from allover glued to their T.V screens!
