CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 101 FOR WOMEN

Ladies, it’s that time of year again when your men go crazy over football. By now, you’ve probably noticed that nearly every male has turned into a UEFA Champion’s League sports commentator on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. So, from now until the big final on 25 May, here’s what you need to know:

1. Champion’s League days are like Valentine’s Day for your guy- especially if his team is playing. In that case, get familiar with his squad and google their match schedule so you’re not left fuming when he wants to go to the bar to watch the game instead of ‘Cheap Tuesday’ at Movie Towne with you.

2. Champion’s League is not just a game. If you realise he’s totin’ because his team got kicked out of the final knockout stage, saying “small thing babe/ doh beat up/ they’ll win next time” will NOT help.

3. Your guy is most likely to be unreliable between 3:30pm – 6:00pm (EST) on a Champion’s League match day- in fact he will probably be blind, deaf and mute to anything that is not football related which means if you get into some kind of trouble during this time, you’re better off calling the Police or 623-4TOW.

4. There are other players in Europe besides Ronaldo and Messi- read up on all the big stars in UEFA and pick your own favourite side so you can have some meaningful conversations about the games. Trust us, football can be real epic when you get into it!
