Rules for Women During the World Cup

By Alison Dennehy, writing from Reading, England

After scrolling through facebook avoiding any type of revision possible I stumbled upon a group named “Rules for women during the world cup” and let’s just say men really don’t want us around for it. My favourite rule was number 7.

You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during half-time but only when the adverts are on, and only if the score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying “one” game; hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to “spend time together”.

Well my response to this is what about the girls who actually know what the offside rule is and don’t just shout “red card ref!” to make it seem like we know what is actually going on?
