Mark posted the all important World Cup rules that should be adhered to by the wives, partners and significant others of all football fans. My favorite:
Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say “get over it, its 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.
I would never tell my husband to get over it. I totally understand his fascination with football. We actually got tickets to a game! We are going to Mexico vs. Angola I think.
