football: HIS love, HIS life.

here's what i have to say after reading siu fai's latest post.

now, we all know that like any other guy, siu fai's crazy over football, and most of you would know that i'm the total opposite.

(what, u didnt realise i dont have an affinity for football? u gotta be kidding.)

so yeah, it's cos of girls like me rolling our eyes over the game that results in guys making stereotypical statements like "Have you read an article in the papers recently about this housewife who says she is negelected by her husband during the World Cup? Man, this is just soo typical of girls (no offence)" and "Girls, you should not bluntly judge the guys for watching too much football".

ya la there're worse statements - these dont sound that bad cos they're made by siu fai and he's a gentleman.

*smirks*

anyway, football isn't just about 22 men running around chasing a ball - yes yes yes i know.

but to me, football is just about 22 men running around chasing a ball. dunno for what. ok, maybe upon further observation, i'll add that it's 22 men running around in SHORTS chasing a ball. and some of the men are hot. hot men in shorts. would ya look at those muscles, baby!

see, that's what goes through my mind if i ever in the slightest chance actually get through 5 minutes of the game.

well look, at least i don't pretend to like the game or know all about it. yeah, i'm the football fan's worst nightmare - the type that stares blankly at the game and interrupts by making lame remarks like "they're just kicking the ball around, very interesting meh" or asking questions like "what's offside?".

(yeah, i really did ask my dad. when i was about 12.)

well, alright, there is one small part in my life that football has given me some semblance of joy.

see, my sister and my dad have hardly ever been on good terms with each other. they can't get along most of the time, and of course all this tension makes me very sad.

but when it comes to football... ah. =)

sis is constantly annoyed with dad's criticisms on how liverpool plays and dad is equally annoyed at how sis could never see how lousy liverpool was sometimes......

even with their favourite sport they can't get along, wtf.

oh yeah, the joy i get? it's amusing watching them bicker over football. and insulting liverpool together along with dad cos sis can't do anything to me with dad around. MUAHAHAHA. XD

ok ok i'm getting side-tracked. anyway. if u really thought about it, quite a lot of girls are really into football. i can't think of many girls i know who fit in the stereotypical football-hating-female mould.

well, except me. hahahahaha. nah, i'm actually just neutral? and of course i've watch a few matches here and there (i mean, who hasn't?). so, nope, it doesnt bother me when guys revert back to neanderthals go crazy over football. and duh, i'll probably even be watching a few games during the world cup.

cos there'll be plenty of eye-candy, that's for sure. ;)
