WORLD
CUP WIDOWS: I BEG TO DIFFER
Hey, I have a couple of reasons why
women should watch the world cup,
during the world cup, women are called ‘world cup widows,’ plus a whole
lot of other unkind names, but that should not be the case as I am going to prove,
women fans have so much more fun watching football than male fans, that’s
because there’s more to appreciate that the game, here goes: -
·
Football
players represent all that a woman could ever dream off, these men are at the
peak of their lives, their young, they are hot (and even if they start off
average looking, they have so much money, that they can buy any body part that
they want, teeth, hair, just ask Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. Hey, it’s
no secret, a man with money is very attractive ‘wink wink.’ See all women love
a man who can drive their imagination wild. And in the world cup, the men come
in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities and nationalities; it’s the perfect
opportunity to admire beauty at its finest.
·
It’s
like watching a soap opera, one of the reasons women love soap operas it’s
because of the passion and emotions (hey did you see Cristiano Ronaldo when
they played Germany seems like he needed a shoulder to cry on, or Iker Casillas
after their demolition by the Netherlands, yep, his girlfriend got no kisses
that night, or the faces of the Englishmen every time their team loses, heart
wrenching, you’d think they’d be used to it by now, the hot men remind you of
the Octavios of the soap operas), the suspense (especially during penalty shoot
outs, your knee feel weak, your heart flutters as you wait for the outcome,
because at times they don’t get it) the rivalry between the villain and the
protagonist, the joy it brings when the team you’re supporting wins the joy is
immense, you just want to jump up and down, and the final match, it’s like the
final episode, someone has to lose and another has to win, it may leave you in
tears but you’ll never forget it!
·
We
all need to let out a good scream or shout every once in a while, and in a
football match we can let out a good shout especially when your team scores,
you can jump up and down and it won’t seem strange. We can let out a bit of
steam without screaming at someone and no one will think you’re strange.
·
It’s
a good way of meeting men! Now ladies visit a sport bar and spot your dream
mate. Position yourself next to him, and
find out what team he’s supporting. Now don’t talk to him during the game that
won’t be taken too well! Follow the game, know basic football lingua and use it
appropriately, be mad at the referee and the other team and let it show in your
face. Address no one in particular but show it that you’re there for the game.
You’ll end up being the goal scorer.

For
the love of the game, football is amazing, and I don’t say this as a fan, I
also say this as someone who has played football, played in a tournament where
my team won as the rains poured, I did not care that my hair was natural or
that it took me weeks to finally manage to comb it, the adrenaline was amazing,
I did not even want to be substituted, and I have also played in a game where
we lost 5 nil, I literally cried. So I understand the game inside and out. In
campus I risked walking from Lower State House Hall (I can’t remember the name
of the men’s hostel) to Hall 12 at times past midnight, alone, because I had to
watch a football match.
See ladies, don’t be a world cup widow,
let’s give our men the half Monalisa smile, let them think they are enjoying
the World Cup more than you. Yet for us, it’s a fiesta and the pleasure it
brings us, no man will ever understand.
