I love you, but you are in love with a Yankee

Lived in London for a small year, subject to the second-hand hobby of the second-hand friends, and also subject to the second-hand position of our second-hand school (the law and order in East London is the best), the two teams with the deepest grievances in the film Milvo I have been lucky enough to be there. My friend became a fan because of Millwall's slogan "no one likes us", which is so cool. We became the only two Asian faces on the stadium. We also accepted a tabloid interview. By the way, according to the record of West Ham United this year, I will definitely be relegated to the British Championship next season to meet Millwall again, and I am also ready to collect the bodies for my buddies next year.

Closer to home, recite a poem.
When the o2 dome, fighting in groups, middle-aged men, and shining in the background, the Thames next to Greenwich has been stained red by blood...

Honestly In other words, I always find it unreliable for Americans to enter the British core fan club, which is similar to the story, but the whole film still captures the main theme of East London. As the title shows, I and my wife According to our analysis, we both agree that this is actually a story of a young American looking for true love and discovering himself.
There are actually three people involved in the story.
Mian'er Matt Mian can even accept his roommates who dropped out of Harvard. He took a conservative estimate of the exchange rate of 10,000 US dollars in 2005, which is about 5,000 pounds, and went to London alone to find his sister. As a result, I ran into my brother-in-law’s younger brother, Pete, the leader of the West Ham United GSE Fan Association. In the afternoon, he drank, watched the ball, did a fake, violently gene mutation, and fell in love with Pete.
Pete is a British boy with a strong physique and a top-notch body. He speaks a typical East London accent. He is a gardener of the soul with serious work. In his spare time, he takes a bunch of buddies to go around the field. At first I looked down on Matt (just like most British people look down on Americans), but it didn't take long before a strong love burst out. Heroes cherish heroes, and the two became close friends.
But this kind of story is inevitably plain, so the screenwriter immediately thought of a Chinese proverb, "If you want to be more plain, just make a love triangle", the most brilliant, tangled and awkward character in the story, Bov appeared. From the beginning, he saw pete and Matt’s playful sad eyes and a series of awkwardness, anger, drunkenness, betrayal, crying, repentance, change of heart, and the last figure that fell on Pete’s corpse. Does not show any deep love.
So the story revolves around the battle between matt and bov for pete. As for what kind of football hooligans, football culture, glory and dignity, self and id, love and hatred are just decorations for the director to cover up this love story.

However, I still want to express my praise for the director’s true restoration of the British's contradictory national qualities, because in reality I can often see high-end white-collar workers wearing three-piece suits and lard on the stadium shouting. "fxxk" all night, this is the Englishman, the Englishman coexisting with gentlemen and gangsters. Purely polite British, that only exists in our dreams.
In addition, in the film, the hooligans of West Ham are obviously better than the hooligans of Millwall. Is Millwall worthy of being the most notorious football club in the UK?

Finally, I want to express my resentment about the fact that the UK can still smoke in the house in 2005.
