The battle that never ends. Every guy finds himself, at point or another, having to choose between football and his girlfriend. And as much as you try, sometimes you fail to put her before the Derby on Sunday.
If you’re confused about which one you love more; your football or your girl, here are some signs to help you see it clearer. And if you do love football more than her, it’s time to make some changes, unless you’re okay with being forever alone!
Don’t say we didn’t warn you:
- You cringe and wince when she makes plans on game nights.
2. You forgot your anniversary but still remember the exact date when Gerrard slipped. And time. And place. And where you were.
3. The only time you cried was when your team lost to a last-minute goal at the World Cup, not when she wanted to break up.
4. You don’t remember how to spell her dad’s last name, but you can spell Schweinsteiger, Azpilicueta, and Wojciech Szczęsny like a boss.
5. You can’t tell her brothers apart, but you can tell Granit Xhaka from Taulant Xhaka with your eyes closed.
6. You think Mohd Cristiano or Sergio Aguero Raj are legit baby names. And you named your kids without even discussing it with her.
7. You hate going shopping with her, but you can’t wait to see the unveiling of the new kit every season. Remember that 2012-13 Barcelona away kit that looked like a jug of orange juice?
8. You’re okay when she doesn’t return your texts, but you feel like punching a wall when Giroud’s shot goes over the bar. Again.
9. She yells your name like 200 times and you only check on her after the half-time whistle.
10. You’d rather have a football jersey than that poem she wrote for your birthday.
11. You’re too lazy to go out to get groceries, but you don’t mind weathering the rain and heavy traffic to meet your buddies just to watch the game together
12. You know how many goals Suarez has netted this season but you keep forgetting what time she finishes work everyday.
13. The best day in your life is when your team picked up the trophy last season and there were confetti everywhere, not the day you asked her to be your girlfriend and she said yes.
14. When you think of honeymoon, you think Old Trafford or Barcelona, instead of Paris or Switzerland.
15. You broke up with your last girlfriend because she said “It’s just a game”.
