DJKillaQueen Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 It should be legally compulsary for all citizens to support a team during the world cup and I'm gessing those asking for footy free pubs are looking to escape footy mad husbands that have turned the family home into a stadium for four weeks hee hee.

???? Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 When I watched the 1982 World Cup...it wasn't shown in any pubs other than in a few old mans pubs on sets that switched over to the races and at my hall of residence although there was a reasonable interest in the England games (maybe 20-30 mainly blokes) for other games there would be about five of us. How times have changed.

Earl Aelfheah Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I really am not that bothered about football, much to the horror of virtually everyone I meet. I'm not sure when / how it became such an apparently, compulsory interest (like ???? says above, it wasn't always like this). I like a good kick around with mates, and I will admit to watching the occasional international - but I have friends who literally organise their entire lives around sitting infront of the TV, watching someone else playing football. The level of obsessiveness seems completely wierd to me.
