Тщательно готовятся.
Эти кадры сняты 60 лет назад корреспондентами журнала LIFE, специально поехавшими на север от американской границы, чтобы запечатлеть радость от победы канадской футбольной (не соккерной) команды над американцами.
Namely, a sensibility that can allow itself to go happily berserk without the celebration devolving, inevitably, into a full-fledged riot.
This is not to say, of course, that Canadians are immune to the sort of lowlife behavior that occasionally consumes, for example, basketball fans in the U.S., and soccer fans seemingly everywhere. But the scene at Queen’s University in the fall of ’54 appears, at least from what one can see in these photos, to have been one of almost purely innocent elation. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
To most Americans [wrote LIFE] their Canadian neighbors seem an undemonstrative people. To Canadians the most sedate of their citizens are the descendants of the Scotch Presbyterian settlers. Yet, for football enthusiasm, few colleges in all the exuberant U.S. outdo Canada’s Queen’s University, founded in Kingston, Ont., by Scotch Presbyterians. Through years of losing teams, Queen’s has always kept up its high spirit. This month when the team took the lead in the big game against Toronto, the student went berserk. Cheerleaders in abbreviated kilts urged hoarser and hoarser versions of the college yell: “Cha Gheil! Cha Gheil!” (Gaelic for “Hold that line.”) Cracked voices yelped, “It can’t be real.” When it turned out to be real, joy overflowed in a parade through placid Kingston behind a Queen’s girl who seemed never to touch the ground.

Те же корреспонденты удивляются отличиям в поведении американских и канадских болельщиков. Последние празднуют победу хоть и неистово, но счастливо, ничего не ломая и не дерясь, что почти всегда случается с болельщиками американскими.
Дальше, если кто хочет, может читать по-американски, а кто не хочет, имеет право просто смотреть на фото.
