Vutha in a post titled Reaction to watching World Cup 2006 compares the reaction of various people on monks watching the World Cup matches. “Meanwhile, there are different reactions to Buddist monks watching football match because they think that it is against the Buddisht faith and monks are required to challenge discipline and to learn if they watch sports. Another opion raised that monks can watch footbal World Cup but not allowed to scream, cheer with a angry face or happy feeling and bet money on football match.”
