It's normal that he didn't remember you. He was your first footie fan to share a footie moment, you were his 904.344th.
As for the time needed to watch footie, I have a little envy, as I don't have the time to watch that much footie today. I watch one game live of Segunda division, one game live of women football and one game live of school football. I watch Liverpool's game complete, and if we win, I watch it twice.
About the Liga, these days with my local club in Segunda I only watch one game per week and the highlights. So you're a better guy to ask about the liga right now mate!
When I was your age I should have watched more footie, I spent too much time in students flats smoking hash and what we call here "saving the world" (talking about politics and stupid things). I would have changed some of the fiesta and alcohol for football, around here the students are some sort of weekend lcoholics, and when you review that part of your life you only remember hangovers, sluts you should have avoided. It was fun yes, but I wish I had practiced more sport, or gone to the mountains with more "healthy" friends, or watched more footie at home.
One of the best moments with friends in a student flat were to watch games of Spain in group, watching footie with friends is something especial. I'm of the school of thought that when you watch footie with friends you have more euphoria, more kneeling down on front of the tv when your team scores and glorious moments like that.
well it wasn't like I talked to him for those 5 minutes. Forgot to mention that my friend Chris and I talked to this guy and his friend for like an hour and a half before the game because we had to get there so early, and we were all smart and found this small outside area to get away from the crowd when the game wasn't on.
Thinking about it more, I might have messed up my La Liga watch numbers. I watch Barca and Real every week, and then I watch when Sevilla, Valencia, Villareal, and Ateltico play each other (or like Sevilla v. Betis) And then a 1 hour weekly wrap up.
When I was in school I spent a lot of time being much more than just a weekend alcoholics. I was probably lucky that my parents never gave me spending around money or else I would have gone out a lot more than I did. But as far as the talking about politics in a university flat etc., that certainly seems pretty European. A lot of my friends were pretty big pot heads but they would just listen to jam bands or watch straight to dvd movies.
Certainly agree about watching footy with people though. When I was in school and didn't have the cable package I have at home I would have to watch on the internet or when I could at footy bar in DC, which always more fun (but more expensive too)
off him too much?
