I'm not. This whole post was just to irritate you.
I was shown this You Tube selection of the famous goal-scoring machine by The Boy, who definitely IS interested in football, and even I was impressed.
I suppose I get mildly interested in football every World Cup tournament, but it hasn't been the same since 1967, when I had one eye on the T.V. screen and the other on a girl who was sitting watching it with me. I didn't score, by the way.
I think the reason I have hardly ever been interested in footie is because of the boring, defensive, tactical possession thing which has dominated European football since I was a kid.
I had a very brief flicker of renewed interest whenever Pele was playing, especially when he scored goals from 95 yards down the pitch, but that's it.
Now this Suarez bloke turns up and was brought to my attention, and a little flicker of interest briefly stirred. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
It was H.I. coming home with the garbled news that Suarez had thrashed Arsenal that made me look him up again, just for your sake. Turns out she was wrong about the team. I was bitterly disappointed.
Take that.
ReplyDeleteSince when have you been interested in football?

Good. I couldn't bear to share my interest with you. As it happens I was watching Suarez yesterday and greatly admiring his skills.

DeleteOh and why just me? You're obviously quite happy to share it with about 500 million other people.
DeleteI wouldn't expect you to understand. I shouldn't have to explain.
DeleteI agree with both points.
DeleteWell, that does make me smile!
