(Not) loving the beautiful game

The roar of the crowd. The building tension as the goal is about to happen…the screaming and the chanting as the end of the match, the end of a season, is about to be decided. The whole world on tenter-hooks…

Me? I couldn’t give a monkeys. And I am not on tenter-hooks, I can tell you that much, my friend. I just don’t get what all the fuss is about with this football thing. I wish I did, but I don’t, and there’s not much I can do about that now, is there?

Well, perhaps I am wrong. The other day, while my dork of a friend fixed my Antivirus , we got talking about whether or not I could LEARN to love football. I disagreed, but took up the challenge of watching an entire football match anyway. That may not sound like a big deal to you, but trust me, for myself it is a serious undertaking indeed. It’s a huuuuuuge deal!

So how did it go? Actually, thanks for asking, and it didn’t go too bad! There was one moment when I’m sure – at least, I think I’m sure – that I started to feel something like passion for the ’beautiful game’. Alright, I wasn’t getting hot and bothered and pumping with testosterone, but it was a start. A good start. I’d say I am open to the idea of football now where I wasn’t before, so in many ways it was some kind of a success.

We’ll see how I go from here, then…
