That's way too rude but I can sort of see where they're coming from...

It took me ages to explain to a friend that fouls are a natural part of the game. And she asked if goalkeepers were allowed to use their hands.

My boyfriend's mum and sister didn't know that each player had a role on the football pitch. He tried to go in deep detail about it but soon gave up and told them some player's role is to score goals, some is to stop goals going in :D
One of them apparently also asked if Götze was the only person who won the world cup because he scored the goal. And they thought that Germany had scored two goals when they replayed the first goal.


Men seem a bit more pragmatic in this respect, if they don't like football they're probably not watching the World Cup. It is a bit annoying when:

- People who don't care about football act like their life depends on the WC
- People who know nothing about the teams go on about how they support them
- People who know nothing about the players start going on about how amazing they are and how they've liked them for years
- You know people won't give a **** about football after the WC

I freely admit that I only care about football when it's an international game. I couldn't care less about the national league of my country. It's 306 games a season and in the end Bayern Munich wins, whatever. But watching with someone who distracts you with questions has to be pretty annoying, I sympathize.

DA. Same. I only watch big tournaments, both of my national teams are crap so... My hometown had a shitty team, same of other towns xD. Currently, it's a bit better as I get to see the rivalry between Celtic and Rangers - it's epic.

I understand the sentiment with passing fans as well - it's like hipsters suddenly claiming THEY LOVED IT BETTER FIRST! My brother is a huge fan of AC Milan and in the recent years lots of people jumped on the bandwagon only caring about the obvious player. I wouldn't peg this to women only though. I guess, it's different locally.

Every year when the Superbowl comes around, I hold a party. Every year, people come, and watch the game, and ask inane questions. And the ones asking those questions are usually dudes. Also, I've had people over for the Daytona 500 before. Same deal.

So while I accept that it's women in your life being like that, I seriously doubt that it's mainly women *in general* who do this. It's people who just want to take part when a "sporting event" becomes just an "event."
