FIFA World Cup Rules (for wife/girlfriend/SO etc)

[asdfg789]

Dear Wife/Sweetheart/Girl Friend/Partner/whomever it may concern,

1. Between 11 June and 11 July 2010, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World of Soccer, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don’t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out off your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell on the floor....It won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on (excluding your body parts), and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, it's only a game", or "don’t worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the half time score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game; hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse too "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again, many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don’t you change the channel to something we can all watch?" because, the reply will l be, "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank Good the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because before and after this comes the Champions League, Premier League, Italian League, Spanish League, KPL, FAA Cup, Euro Cup, etc.

P/S By the way if you get stuck on the road, call the Police or AAA.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I was going to open up a World Cup thread but maybe we can post things in here instead asd? Not sure there are that many soccer fans on here anyways.

[asdfg789]

Sure. Be my guest.

[Petit Papillon]

I will barely watch that, I don't know who should I support... Ehh... Well, we should receive our 50" plasma Tv till then, so maybe just for the sake of using tv we'll watch some games... :/

Is it because Poland isn't in that you won't watch many games? Your b/f is a big soccer fan isn't he PP?

[Petit Papillon]

No he's not... He watches just Champions league and some Serie A games. And yeah, Poland is out, even tho they play like crap, I would support them just because... Well, You know I'm all for Poland

[asdfg789]

You're in Spain right now aren't you ? That's a good team to support !

I was brought up watching English football, so by default will support the English team. But they end up breaking fans' hearts everytime .

Brazil, Argentina are my other favourites.

Don't ladies normally watch football for the cute guys only ?

did you write that?

[asdfg789]

did you write that?

unfortunately no. just something funny that i thot i'll share.

don't you like it ?

[Sonrisa]

i do actually, i even had it posted on my FB

[Sonrisa]

which teams are we gonna be following, people?

[Asip4u]

No he's not... He watches just Champions league and some Serie A games. And yeah, Poland is out, even tho they play like crap, I would support them just because... Well, You know I'm all for Poland

Yeah i guess Euro 2012 will be a lot more exciting for you. Good thing you don't have to try to get in since you're the host country. I think it's very cool when a girl is interested in sports..She doesn't even have to be a big fan or anything as long as she attempts to watch some games.

[Asip4u]

which teams are we gonna be following, people?

Russia..oh wait..they didn't get in! ..How they lost to Slovenia i'll never understand that one. I'll be hoping Spain wins just because they play the style i like.

[IndiReloaded]

That's funny; I seem to be experiencing these things now with the Stanley Cup playoffs. You saying I need to tolerate this all the way into July??

I think I'm going to book myself into the condo in Maui until then if so.

[Sonrisa]

it's really sad that Russia or none of republics made it
