Girls and Football.

I remember it was one of those science lectures by Rameshwar Sir, and he stated that oil and water are immiscible.Unable to recall any such observation we demanded more examples from the pro- footballer turned science teacher, finally with a big grin he said, Girls and football are immiscible mixture. Though it wasn’t a perfect example, it helped me to understand the word ‘immiscible’. Football,one of the most famous sports known to humans, never arouses any kind of emotions among the female homo sapiens ( exceptions always remain ).The impact of 32 nations,playing non-stop 64 matches,for a month round for them is just like the impression of a cheap-lipstick from the Monday market in their purse which disappears from their lips within few minutes. Rooney for them is some kind of rhyming word to looney, and the team of Nigeria should be banned because it’s a pain to eyes to differentiate between players. The idea of 22 players running behind a round thing drives them mad, its better to learn new tactics to torture the newly wedded daughter in law by follwing various tv soaps. A conversation made by mistake with one of my female colleagues about the previous evening World Cup games sealed my belief in the capacity of female homo sapiens to understand this beautiful game. These were the questions and remarks she posed before me :-

1. Whats so great about a poor little thing being kicked all round the park by 22 madmen? What is so great about kicking it between two bars ? I keep kicking all the time…..the last time was my boyfriend out of my life. J
2. I never seen someone running like that OMG OMG this is ridiculously funny, my rabbit runs like that HaHaHa HeHeHe. She was referring to Messi.

He was playing really awesome that evening.

3. Does this man play? This is so rude and insane, he damn shouldn’t be allowed to enter the field,look at his face, he scares me, shitty monster. She was referring to Rooney. Rooney’s touch were good that evening.
4. Where does so many footballs in this park come from?
5. Baaahhh that goal keeper is a real asshole, he caught the ball with his own hands,stole all the pinchful of interest that I had sustained with great difficulty through out that’s plain cheating.
6. You know he was looking like a Greek-God yet he was on the benches, how cruel is this world to deny him to play, its sheer injustice. Madam was referring to Beckham. Beckham was injured.
7. That referee is the craziest of all, he was madly running both sides of the ground .Was there a need to do so??He seemed to be a gambler to me with cards in his pockets. ( that too…red and yellow..OMG…red and yellow hehehe ) And those madmen were listening to his orders, ahhhhh where do u get see such a sight??
8. Hey England’s strategy was real bad, they could have placed all their players sticking to the goal posts of the opposite teams, the ball would come and they could have scored rather then settling for a draw. And by the way whats Off-side??

Girls and football, immiscible mixture.
