It happens very four years, yes a leap year, but that's not what I'm talking about, the football World Cup. It's the time football fans and sometimes football fans stand up behind their country to cheer their team on to win.
Now I'm a girl from a football family, and had no choice growing up to be involved in football. I have an older brother who played it every weekend, which from a young age I was dragged (yes some days dragged) to watch and support his team, whether it sunshine, the bitter cold or that nasty rain we get here in the uk. I would wake up Sunday morning hoping for rain, so my parents would get a call that the match had been called off! Not just having a brother mad about football I also have a father who is mad about football, well my brother had to inherit it from somewhere. Plus I had more football in this house hold as my dad ran his own football team! I remember the days hanging out all the shirts to dry after all the mud and other dirt had been removed from them in the washing machine.
Now I'm not just telling you all of this for no reason, I'm trying to hope you will understand why I love football too. To support a team you have no influence in, but love anyway... Even when they are playing like little girls! Therefore when the World Cup comes around like it does every four years, I can't but help get caught up in all the excitement and joy it brings. Where as many girls I know, will be moaning about their boyfriends taking up the couch and the large tv, or taking evenings down the pub, I'll be one of them girls who will be checking her phone for the up dates of the scores, working out how many points each team needs to get through, plus hoping that England doesn't come down to penalty's with anyone!!! I don't enjoy watching tv from behind a cushion.
Now girls listen up, sit back and enjoy the football as it will pass, let your man watch the footie, if you don't like it go out with your friends, enjoy the quiet places that don't show football, such as the cinema, it's only 31 days of your life you have to give up.... Plus who doesn't enjoy watching men run around in shorts?
Anyway, I'll be watching the show, seeing all the highs and lows of the World Cup, plus cheering on my own country dreaming they will be bring back the Trophy! Let the games begin!
"Come on Engalnd"
Love Lolly
