The tribute of a minute of silence has been replaced by a minute of applause.Whether it is more appropriate to have silence as a tribute or applause as a tribute is debatable.It’s easier to do the applause.The silence can always be broken by any speaking out of turn type of lunatic who likes to hear the sound of his own voice.The silence is harder to hold.And more meaningful too maybe.We have too much noise and too little silence in any case.The EPL is going to have the applause tribute on their games slated for the 15th and 16th of August.This round of applause came at the start of a friendly between England and Holland that ended with the score reading two goals each.(Goal Video)
