Fans 'would give up limb' to win World Cup What would you sacrifice to see your country win the World Cup? Food for a week, according to a survey that also found fans willing to lose a limb for their team's glory. Fifty-one per cent 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 their side victory. More than 40 per cent offered to give up dating for a year, while seven per cent said they would gladly give up their job to see their country win the title. A further four per cent were willing to give away a body part. The survey was conducted by US-based international calling firm VIP Communications Inc ahead of the South African extravaganza featuring 32 nations. It found that a majority of English respondents - 93 per cent - would give up food for a week to see England win, while some 70 per cent of Italians would give up their job to see their country retain the trophy. Americans were most willing to sacrifice their homes, while South Koreans were most prepared to sacrifice their love life. And the people least willing to make a sacrifice? The survey found that only three per cent of Slovakians would give up anything to improve their country's chances of victory.
Honestly, I would rather see Arsenal win something, I've always opted for club over country. I would still give my limb to win the World Cup, though.
lol for me it's country over club though, because you wait so long for the event. I would give money myself, no limbs.
The World Cup seems like an extraordinary event, I can understand the passion. I want my limbs though.
