I've been to one British game ever (Stoke City before they got promoted to the Premier League) and they don't like to even talk during games let alone doing the wave.
Basically two strangers (men) will sit beside each other and not say a word, holding their breath, intense concentration, studying every single movement of the ball, nervous of a defensive breakdown. Doing the occasional chant and song when required. When a goal is scored, they jump up, hug each other, then sit right back down and concentrate on the next play.
And it's not the Mexican wave.. the American (I think Pac-10) invented it during college football games in teh early 80s, long before World Cup 86.
