The most blatant reason is the drink. It's a time when everyone gets pissed. I watched the England match on Saturday. Do I remember it? Not really, it's all one big green blur. Needless to say whether we win or lose there is always a chance to get drunk when the match is on. Plus, if it makes the match go quicker then you can't blame me can you?
Then there is the food. Whether its an easy greasy take away or you are going all out and having a huge BBQ for you and the neighbours. The footie, the booze and the grub seem to go hand in hand. It's hardly a help to your 'beach bod' diet but it's compulsory.
There is no way of getting around this without sounding like a stereotypical gay. So I'm just going to go for it. The main reason I watch it? It's the football players themselves. 70% of them are fit and then there is 10%, like Cristiano Ronaldo (a firm favourite of mine) pictured, who are just godly buff. Even Vanity bloody Fair have realised that instead of there usual classy outlook on things they've just decided to strip the players off and shoot them in their undies. Kudos to you VF.
Now, football on this level of adoration has it's downsides. On July 2nd it is the Quarterfinals in which we will most likely be playing in. It is also my mums wedding day meaning that after the 3 course meal we've got plasma screens being delivered to the room in which everyone can then watch the match. For the fear that otherwise people will leave to watch it elsewhere. There is no problem with this but it doesn't half make the whole thing seem a bit tacky doesn't it? Is it wrong that I'm secretly hoping we don't get that far?
Oh well, I don't really have the mental capacity to think about the football for that long and the dilemmas that it may.. oh god Ronaldo really is amazing...
