What to do when World Cup is on.

We have two tellies (Don’t judge me! ?) so himself will be watching the footie while I catch up on my black and white movies.

hildajenni I used to think mine was the only marriage that was like this but have found out lately that it's not.

Will keep an eye on it so as to be able to converse intelligently(?!) with DS.

We are totally disinterested in football so will avoid it like the plague. I can always find something to sew, make or dig and I would far rather be out in the garden than staring at the TV.

DH happy to watch it in study so won't have to suffer it.
Now if it was rugby I'd be glued to it!

My lovely man loves his football - I have my own portable DVD player and will happily plug myself in and pootle on the computer or knit for my charities. I actually miss it when it’s all over as I don’t often get uninterrupted coverage of my box sets (he isn’t a Walking Dead fan and I am really looking forward to watching it again)

DH will probably watch most of the matches. During the day I shall be sitting in the garden if possible and in the evening I shall be knitting or crocheting with the football in the background. There is very little I want to watch on tv apart from the tea time quiz shows, don't do soaps or dramas.

We'll ignore it as usual. Dh is just a little interested in football as I am, and thankfully in Tour de France and the European Melody Grand Prix as well.

Watching anything but football!

Oh is planning to go out with his bro to watch first match, after that I know not what is planned. If home he can watch it in his bedroom.
Son is joining mates at one of the local pubs.

I quite look forward to the sport season, footie, Wimbledon ect as it give me time to go shopping, gardening, walking, visiting friends and family, without DH grumbling. He will be glued to the box day and night so I'll have a bit of freedom. Normally he moans when I tell him I'm going out alone, and thinks we should be together all the time now we are retired. It drives me mad usually but with sport on tv he won't miss me so much.

Love that idea @Rubysong! I'll be watching the England games (hopefully in the pub with friends) and my team's players for other countries.

Looking forward to it. I always watched my son playing when he was younger. Now he coaches young children which is very rewarding.

My Husband hates football thank god so our life won't change much. Might have a look at the box sets on sky.

All of the family and most friends are on FB messenger and I love exchanging messages. People can pick up the message straight away if they have time or answer later. I really couldn't care how they contact me as long as they do and we chat for ages when a meet up. Mobile texting is a bit of a problem as I can rarely find my mobile but then people have got used to that too..

Luckily, I don't have to consider anyone else, besides which, football is boring and played by people who don't even represent the area where the club is based.
I'm only interested in athletics, swimming, triathlons and horseracing.
I shall be ploughing my way through 6 new books purchased on Amazon.

Switch off ALL T.V`s .Radio,discard all media etc...........get outside and enjoy life in the great British summer!

Going to meet up with friend and cousin and will disappear off with my book to the garden or tele in the bedroom.
Have said if there is something on sky I want to see he goes in the bedroom with the hd television.

(I have sent you a PM gillybob)

Here too wolfie. I'll be watching, DH will probably find plenty to do in the garden. He doesn't do sport of any kind!

Yes me too DanniRae . The atmosphere is fantastic. I'm really looking forward to it actually.

Watching it when England play. Hoping we get more than 3 matches.

Most of the England matches we will watch at our local bowls club where we are social members. It's a great atmosphere and when (or if) England score the whole place goes crazy. I love being there when that happens.

I will be watching it all. As for my hubby, he can find plenty to do. Roles are reversed here and he doesn't complain when our holidays are arranged for when my babbies (Wolves) are playing at home. It's been like this for almost 48 years and he knew when we married what it would be like.

Being completely uninterested in football and married to a lovely man who feels the same, it will not impinge on me in the slightest. And I have a boxed set of Spiral (Engrenages) I have started yet.

I’m so glad my husband isn’t a football fan. We can watch other things, go out, read books etc. without him worrying that he’s missing something.
