Ladies ladies ladies…Yes its coming to that time in the ever popular football calender, The 2010 FIFA World Cup is among us!! And so it seems is the whining and moaning from our wives, girlfriends, female friends and colleagues!
The gathering of the worlds best football players playing in a tournament for the greatest glory in the worlds greatest game only happens once every 4 years! There’s a mere total of 64 games over a period of only 31 days so all we respectfully ask of you is that you allow us to frequent to the pub on a daily basis and watch these modern day gladiators battle it out on a 150inch screen.
You may also see drastic changes in our behavioural patterns!
If we want to leave the house wearing a football shirt and jeans…let us. If we are a little obsessive about our free wall chart we got from The Sun then don’t tell us that it looks hideous in the lounge, it’s not there for decorative purposes. If we bombard you with daily statistics then at least pretend to take an interest. If we don’t move from the sofa for hours at a time, occasionally offer us chips n dip, beer, pizza or Indian food. If we want to go out and spend silly money on a football shirt that’s 30 years old, don’t tell us it’s a waste of money, you’ll just cause an argument! If we forget your birthday then please understand that it was only because we were trying to decide whether to watch Greece V Argentina or Mexico V Uruguay!
You must realize that this is the best chance England have had of winning the World Cup in many years and although you may think that we are getting ourselves excited over nothing, we actually have what it takes to win it…the squad, the youth, the experience, the manager and Wayne Rooney!
Just take a second (knowing how important the World Cup is to your man) to imagine just how happy us gents will be if we go all the way! And it wont just be for a day or two! We will have the bragging rights over the ENTIRE footballing world for the next 4 years! Yes some of us (chavs & mugs) may get tattoos and that free wall chart from The Sun will be framed and now a permanent fixture in the living room. We may even hang an England banner in the back of the car for a while yes we will go spend £50 on the DVD but like I said before, this tournament only comes every 4 years…so please please allow us this if nothing else!
Oh and ladies you don’t have much time to prepare for this epic event! See http://ow.ly/1t1uZ
