1. If your husband or partner loves football, you stand to score some major points if you show interest in the game..in fact if u are curious to understand offide rules, counter attack, parking the bus etc.. you just won yourself at least some 90mins of shared time. You can both enjoy a game and increase your common grounds.

2. If you go the extra step of supporting a club, mehnnnn, your level don increase be that ohh.. Both of you can wave your banners in victory and hide them in defeat. But it is even more fun when you support different teams..it could get heated up sometimes but remember its all about the fun and sharing.

3. Your husband's friends will feel comfortable coming to your house for the game, you wouldn't have to worry about him leaving the house for a crowd feel to watch big games. His friends and hommies can make your house a big stop for games and that adds more to your friendship network and support system. Did i just hear some ladies say.."i don't like the noise they make..".. Anyways, that one na my mind sha...

4. If you have children whether male or even girls these days, you can be their number one supporter if they show early interest in the game. Instead of telling them to "go and read your books" all the time..you can even be their referee in small backyard games or take them to watch matches, register in academies etc..you know the rest.

5. Since women are seriously taking over many areas under the umbrella of equal gender movement and all that.. you will be doing yourself alot of good to know what many men love..you may just be better at analyzing, multi-betting etc..hahaha.... you have all to gain as well..
