How about asking her to watch it with you? Maybe buy her a bottle of wine when you pick up your lagers, and try to get her excited about the games by telling her you'd really like her to watch them because you'd enjoy her company. You could try telling her about some of the players if she doesn't know, so she can feel like she's involved in something you like, instead of feeling like another Footie Widow.

Did that at the 2002 World Cup and nearly throttled her with all the stupid questions like

"Is Gary Lineker playing?"
" Are Barcelona in this?"

therefore that is certainly not an option!

Yeah, I watched the England game Saturday with people who asked:
"Is Beckham playing?" and "How long is a half?"

Sometimes you've just got to draw the line.

I was driving home this evening and listening to the Brazil game on R5 ...and I found myself sympathising with my wife. Those [censored] vuvuzelas are driving me nuts. I wouldn't change it, they are part if the culture and all that. But I miss the chanting and singing and drumming; that's part of the whole atmosphere to me. All I can hear is the drone of those [censored] horns. It's not even a week old yet and already I'm dribbling and sick of the sound of them. πŸ˜₯

Snooker. Now there's a man's game. I remember watching it some years (decades 😳 ) ago. The match hadn't started yet and the commentators were just chatting about nothing in particular; setting the scene ...while the cameras panned round, behind scenes, audience shots, contenders getting ready. When out of the blue Alex Higgins appears, dragging a crate of beer behind him and pushes it under his table. Man food for man sports!
