Jalgpalli-dialoog võhikuga

11jaan08

Selgub, et kui ka inglastega jalgpallist rääkides ausalt üles tunnistada, et sa sellest MITTE MUFFIGI ei tea, siis oleks ikkagi targem kohe püsti tõusta ja ära minna. Sest sinu mitte-teadmise teadmiseks võtmine ei tähenda, et see teema otsa saaks või et lakataks sult arvamusi küsimast. Või et sind siis “vale” arvamuse eest kohe korrale ei kutsutaks.

foa: ”Well, if you have to choose… Liverpool or Manchester?”
m: “I really haven’t got a clue…”
foa: “Come on, it’s Liverpool against Manchester – whom are you going to support?!”
m: “Which one do you guys like?”
foa: ”Liverpool!”
m: “Then I’ll take Manchester”
foa: “How CAN you say something like THAT?!”
*

foa: “So, England, Spain and France…”
m: “I will take the Netherlands”
foa: “HOW can you take the Netherlands?!”
m: “They have cute players there…”
foa: ”But they can’t play!”
m: “But they are cute!”
foa: “How can you call someone cute if they can’t even play?!”

*
m: “Portugal, I supported Portugal for the last championship”
foa: “Huh? Have you gone mad – Portugal?! WHO on earth would like to support Portugal?”
m: “I did… cause no-one liked them… you know, for the fairness sake…”
foa: “No-one likes them cause they can’t play!”
m: “Yes, I don’t like them anymore either… they kicked and played aggressive. Do not like that.”
foa: “Huh! So France, England or Spain?!”

*
foa: “In general, you are allowed to support three teams”
m: “Huh? There are RULES to that, too?!”
foa: “Yes, listen… there’s the place you come from – you always support them. Like Brighton.”
m: “I come from Tallinn. We don’t have a Tallinn team. And Flora sucks”
foa: “Yes, they can suck, it doesn’t matter. So, if you come from Brighton, then you support your Brighton team. Those are your blokes and they are wearin’ your colours, you see. And if they suck in football, then you get to pick another favourite team…”
m: “Ahhaa, so I can choose Portugal again?”
foa: “NO! No Portugal! And NOT Netherlands, ok?! Other teams. Like Liverpool or so”
m: “Ahhaa. So I get to pick another team, but not the ones I like…”
foa: “No-no, you can pick any team you like. You just can’t like Portugal or Netherlands, you see.”
m: “OK, I will take France…”
foa: “Have you gone mad?!? WHY would you pick France?! Over England?!?”

*
m: “Well, you said you can have three favourite teams. The one from the place you come from, then the second favourite one – where does the third team fit in? How do you choose that?”
foa: “What do you mean by that?!? You don’t choose it, you already have it!”
m: “Huh?”
foa: “It is your national team!!! Even if you really really do not like them, you HAVE TO support them, you know. It is your national team!”

*
m: “What do I do, when my home-town team is also the best local one and also more or less the national one? I only get one team to support? And not only that – what if they suck in football, they never-ever make it to the championships and I really do not like them?”
foa: “Huh, that’s a tough one… I guess you can choose another team. Like to be the extra one”
m: “Cool! Then I will choose Netherlands”
foa: “NO, no no! You can not choose the Netherlands!”
m: “Why, you just said I could pick another team!”
foa: “Yes, but why would you pick Netherlands, if you could pick any team you like?!”
m: “Mmmm… cause they are cute there?!”
foa: “Are you being serious?!? They are NOT cute there, they are UGLY as hell, cause they can not play football!”
*

foa: “Ok, well… tell me now, honestly… you wouldn’t really really support Netherlands, right?”
m: “Yes I would!”
foa: “Even if they are playing… uhhh… for example, against England. On the champs… huh?”
m: “Yes, ofcourse. Go Holland!”
foa: “Woman, you are MAD!”
m: “No, I’m not… It’s easy, you know… with their orange shirts and all, I can always see where they are on the court… and they are cute.”
foa: “Errr, are you pullin’ my leg now, uh?”

FOA: football obsessed adult
