143. Get “Into” a European Sport
Bless you Europe. Everything about you seems exotic to us. Your fragrant wines, your crazy fashion, your outrageous accents.
The great thing about really getting into a European sport is that, if you really want to, you’ll never miss a game. The time difference allows you to get up at 4:30 am to watch the end of that Cycling race or to take in that Cricket tie.
You hear ridiculous expressions from play by play commentators like “That chap is a dibbly dobbler“, or “They’re at sixes and sevens at the back!”
Perhaps the single greatest benefit of really getting into a European sport is that it now allows you to wear colourful football scarves indoors and memorize fan chants like Dirty Northern Bastards and Posh Spice is a Slapper.
