7.30am - wake up, 7.31am - check odds for betting purposes, 7.40am - text friend and ask about his opinion, 7.50am - consider other sources for better odds/return, 8.15am - shower, 8.20am - have a cuppa coffee, text girlfriend and off you go for work, 9.00am to football match starts - you may be physically at work/doing bed business with your girlfriend/studying but mentally you are thinking of the odds, calculating the best return and whether you should bet on the number of corners/yellow cards to increase the inflow of your money. You then place your bet, watch football and the cycle continues the following day.
Don't worry, you are not alone. Over the next few days, you'll be suffering from these syndromes:
a) When you switch on the teevee, the first channel that comes across your mind is a sports channel
b) Whilst watching a hot sex scene of your favourite movie with your other half, you have the tendency of switching to a sports channel unconsciously (and then having your significant other yell at you)
c) Your biological clock is screwed up - you wake up at 2am and can only go back to sleep at 4.30am. You then gulp 4 cups of coffee within the first two hours of work.
d) All of the sudden, you are playing football/futsal at least twice a week and whenever someone asks you out for a session, you'll feel like a child all over again.
e) Your girlfriend drops subtle hints (yet like any man would do, you'll ignore it and pretend like you do not know anything) like 'Okay, I have given you your one month break because of WC. Happy?' (Note to men: what she meant was 'YOU BUGGER! I'VE BEEN NEGLECTED FOR A MONTH!')
f) You don't mind spending at least another 90 minutes of your life watching the same match again. This time round, you praise yourself for being so good at predicting scores and that you brag about being the next Paul
g) For extreme cases, you even start betting on other sports tournaments whether you are a fan or not!
h) You check your bookmark pages and one of them is soccernet.com
i) You feel like a reincarnation of Einstein - you could remember every single players' names, their positions and numbers, the countries they play for and to certain extent, whether they are left or right footed.
j) And as many of you know, I have a lot of guy friends. I notice that almost every one of them have an extra ball - football. What were you thinking aye?
k) You have Waka Waka on repeat on your player.
l) When you laugh you go 'Wakakakaka' instead of the typical 'Haha' and you realise that unintentionally, you do the Waka Waka dance
Till then, always bear in mind Liverpool's tagline: 'You'll never walk alone'. But unlike Liverpool fans, the only reason they are not walking alone is because they are walking with a bunch of losers. YOU, on the other hand, are walking with half the population of the world in coping with the aforementioned syndromes. Its about time to lend your friend a hand, call him out and have After World Cup Parties every weekend till EPL starts (I'm having mine soon!)
