You will recognize these things if your partner is obsessed with football
Does your partner's life also revolve around football 24/7? Well, then I know exactly how you feel. I have a father, two brothers, and a friend who all play football, so you can call me a real football woman by now. If you sometimes go a bit crazy like I do, you will surely recognize yourself in the following points.
1. Saturday is football day
Want to go out for a day with your partner? Then you can already cross Saturday off the list, because you don't stand a chance. After the match, there's also the third half, so there's a good chance your partner will hang out in the canteen for the whole evening. ‘Just one more beer and then I'll come,’ will be a familiar phrase for most. Final score: he or she comes home two hours later. Well, by now it has become routine.
2. Sunday is also football day
After finally getting through Saturday, Sunday starts the exact same routine but from the couch at home. In the morning, the television is already on, and one match after another is watched. Then you think it will be over in the evening and you can finally continue your series: not a chance, because then it's time for all the replays and talk shows. Will it ever stop?
3. Getting all the ins and outs after the match
As soon as your partner's match is over, you get a whole story about what happened. ‘What a biased ref,’ ‘That opponent completely kicked my ass,’ and: ‘My legs are wrecked.’ Honey, I'm really happy for you when you score, but you might want to tell the rest to your friends. Just a tip.
4. By now, you have also become a football fan
There's a good chance you also know a thing or two about football: all the leagues, competitions, clubs, players, and so on. You just don't know the transfer value of every player yet. Oh well, I think it has its charms because then you can finally chat with them.
5. That sports bag that never gets washed
My hair stands on end from that stinky bag full of sweaty clothes and wet towels. Your partner would rather wait a few more days to throw everything in the wash, causing it to stink long before. And we haven't even talked about the football shoes that are just damp from sweat. Yuck.
6. A football kit as a gift has become a tradition
Let me throw in a plus point, because within two seconds you have picked out a Christmas gift. That's right: a football kit. Always a good choice. A tip from me: buy a mystery football box. You will receive a box with a football shirt from a random foreign club. Then you score points, believe me.
7. It doesn't stop on vacation either
Finally, you have your partner all to yourself on vacation. At least, that's what you would think. But no, when you're on a city trip, the football obsession doesn't just stop. There's a good chance you'll be dragged to a football match of that one foreign club during your vacay. Fun times.
