So what have I covered so far. Hype that affects computer games, and hype that affects consoles. Let's take a look at hype that affects football matches.
I suppose you can look at it in the same way as with games and consoles. The hype builds before the match, the match is played. If the game is brilliant, then the hype is justifed. If the games is disappointing, then the hype is not justified. This is not strictly true is it?
The hype can be different depending on the team that person supports. Let's take the FA Cup Final. Now, I am an Arsenal supporter, and I noticed a lot of hype surrounding the match. Arsenal fans were going about saying, "Arsenal are going beat you be this score", and the like, and it was the same with the Liverpool fans. Right then, Liverpool won. The hype from the Liverpool fans was justified as Liverpool won, but for the Arsenal fans, the hype was not justified.
Of course, the papers fueled this hype, with updates on who is playing, and who is injured and more. Some of the hype was based on what the papers said. If certain players weren't playing, then the supporters would use it against each other, and things like that.
Another thing I notice is that for most matches, people have known about that match for months due to the fixture being released before the season starts. There may be a little hype around this time, but then dyes down. When the match is closer, the hype between the supporters builds up again. This could once again be fueled by the papers, or could also be advertisements on TV about the match being shown on TV, saying things like, "This team hasn't beaten this team for so many years", and things like that.
So then, does hype affect football matches? Well, the hype generated from the papers may affect some players performance (although doubtful), but the main affect is on the supporters. There could be a lot of hype surrounding their team, they could come away happy or disappointed.
As I said before, somewhat similar to hype affecting computer games and consoles.
