I know some people who will be prescribed a daily Prozac pill for 2 weeks straight, after the game tonight. Seriously, this behavior cracks me up, because I can not relate to it. The closest I ever got to getting a low emotion for soccer or any sports, was when Naija lost to Italy in '94 and that feeling only lasted for 30 minutes.
As most of you know, Manchester United won the premier league cup this year and clinched a 10th time title win. Now, Chelsea was close, but they slacked off and allowed the Bolton Wanderers draw with them in their final match and this caused them the title. As I write up this blog post, all the people I described in the first sentence of this post are somewhere watching the Manchester vs Chelsea European cup game, stressing themselves emotionally to see who will win. I'm sure someone is screaming at the TV hoping that the player on the field in Moscow can hear them saying "Pass the ball Ode!"
The best advice is to refuse putting any emotion on whatever team you may be rooting for, don't attach yourself to the outcome of a game. These players are making Millions, you are there draining your emotions and screaming because Michael Essien did not stop Ronaldo before he scored the first goal. Stop it! you have more important things to think about, life is already stressful as it is.
If you decide to ignore my first advice, you can choose a winning team to root for during any type of sports season. I'm telling you, this is the next best thing you can do for your emotional health. Now if you happen to chose a team like Bolton Wanderers or Houston Rockets (yes I said it), you are in trouble for the rest of the season you may end messing up your weeks when your team goes on a losing spree. Oh one more thing, all you Arsenal fans better switch teams next season, so that you don't get too depressed. It's getting too hard to be an Arsenal fan.
