As for “less than knowledgeable,” I would gladly challenge John to a quiz-off.
The Insider Inbox World Cup…coming to packers.com (…whenever we can get more help).

In response to John from Boscobel, WI. This will be my 20th season following the Packers. I’ve been to Lambeau five times and six road games. I’ve watched every game live for the past 15 seasons even if that means staying up till 4 a.m. for night games. There’s many others in the UK who have similar stories. Trust me, we’re knowledgeable.
I believe you, Liam. Each of you in the UK have my undying respect. I cannot imagine what those Mondays must be like.
Will from Bristol, United Kingdom
In response to John from Boscobel, what a load of baloney! As someone who has supported the Packers for over 15 years, I cannot wait for the game in London. I’m no less of a fan, and certainly no less knowledgeable given my readership of packers.com since the Ask Vic days. I’ve had my share of late nights and 1:15 a.m. wake ups to watch the Pack. This will be the only time in my life that I get to watch Aaron Rodgers play live and I for one will be cheering every minute wearing my green and gold. GPG!
I am so incredibly happy for all the UK fans who get to attend the game in-person. As fun as the atmosphere is at Lambeau, Packers fans travel incredibly well. I will never forget the energy inside the LA Coliseum in 2018.
Warwick from Melbourne, Australia
I object to the notion that fans from countries other than the states have less knowledge of the game and I applaud the insiders for sticking up for us. Thank you. Andrew Brandt recently tweeted one of the things he hoped for in the schedule was a December away game somewhere warm to help the players thaw out. Is the Miami Christmas game a blessing in disguise?
Like Mike said, our international fans are well-informed. I’d argue Stephen O’Brien and the UK Packers know more about the team than many of Green Bay’s own residents. To your question, it is nice to mix in a Florida game in December – but again, why did it have to be on Christmas Day? It does not make sense to me. It’s putting a hat on a hat (and not the football version of that analogy).

Would you describe Jerry Montgomery’s attire a hooded vest or a sleeveless sweatshirt? If that is available at the Packers Pro Shop, you need to pick one up. Show Spoff you got the guns.
I don’t know, but Jerry looked like a boss at the podium on Wednesday. Maybe I’ll cut one of my sweatshirts and give it a try.
Jack Coco is a great name. What are some of your favorite monikers to have played for the Pack?
Blaise Winter is the only correct answer.
Wes, as revenge for Spoff always stealing your lunch, try this: Each road game in a different time zone, don’t reset your watch. See how he reacts. Thanks.
What makes you think I haven’t done that already. Spoff missing the bus in Winnipeg was no accident.
Wes, now that Mike is away, do you have any naughtiness planned? Or are there too many security cameras around? I’m guessing that Mike probably has his phone hooked up to them…. 😉
I’m just looking forward to enjoying my lunch again. Have a great day, everyone.
