Whether it’s ‘Soccer’ or ‘Football’, there’s no denying that it is the world’s favourite sport. What better way to celebrate this most celebrated sport than arguably the most anticipated sporting event which knights the best of the best and crowns the champions of the world, the FIFA World Cup.
Though football is a sport that transcends genders, it is the men who tend to be more vociferous (and granted sometimes a tad too over-enthusiastic) when it comes to exhibiting their support for their favourite teams. So for this edition of the Jules Rimet trophy or the World Cup (as it’s known today) as the men thump their chests bearing the crest of their respective favourite footballing nations and head out to the battle alongside their football heroes, let us not forget the ones they leave behind; the wives and girlfriends - Football widows or in this case, ‘World Cup widows’ as they’re known.
Throughout the period of the World Cup competition, you’ll find this group of women often having ‘one-sided’ conversations and at times, even going to bed alone. The men have made the sofa in the living room their personal abode, albeit temporarily and for the rest of the tournament period, their undivided attention and focus will be on the TV. Not flinching, strictly no distractions and absolutely no conversations… unless it’s about football.
It can be a lonely existence being a World Cup widow.
But it doesn’t have to be!
Since your man wants no distractions, give him what he wants. Use this opportunity to catch up with girlfriends over a cuppa or dinner and dessert at your favourite diner. Don’t worry about your man at home; let him call for a takeout if he’s hungry. He won’t starve to death as he needs to stay alive to see who wins, remember?
If a cuppa is not really your thing, there’s always shopping. The Gods must really love us women, to have the Great Singapore Sale in the month of the World Cup as well! So put on your most comfortable footwear and score yourselves some great deals. The GSS runs from the end of May to July 27th.
But what if neither is your thing? And the girlfriends you would have really loved to catch up with are away on a summer vacation? So you’re left staring at past vacation photos and dreaming about non-existing getaways.
Well, you don’t have to daydream anymore.
