Sorry all, but I had to. The World Cup is pervasive enough, but as a psychologist this is just downright fascinating.
I have to admit, I'm not a huge football fan. I'll watch it if it's on and being a teacher it's usually good to keep relatively up to date so you can keep up with the students, the theatrics are always good to watch but I wouldn't replace another activity with football, nor do I actively seek games.
That being said...
