Englishmen are famous for carping on about two subjects — pedantic whinging about Americanizations of the mother tongue and, trumping all other interests and defying all reason, football, or soccer as it’s known to those still recovering from a Super Bowl hangover.To say that football is like a religion to Brits would be a gross understatement, as the second coming would require a deity to wear a jersey and marry a fashion-mad shallow waif to get the attention of most football fans.
A married Manchester United fan was holidaying in Cancun when he met a couple of Liverpool fans. The slag-fest that ensued likely delighted the rest of the holidayers and convinced them that only the very cream of the UK venture abroad.
The two Liverpool fans learned the Manchester U fan’s name and set about on a plan. They created a fake Facebook account under a woman’s name and spent a month sending the Liverpudlian messages, chatting him up, etc, before finally suggesting a tryst at a house in the countryside some nine hours away. Once there, the man received a text message saying that the woman was held up at work and wouldn’t be back for another three hours.
Finally, after that time elapsed, the Liverpool boys called and revealed that it was all a joke. But as a final jab in the ribs to this man who made the grievous mistake of choosing the wrong football team, they posted the conversation on YouTube. His wife found it and started divorce proceedings immediately.
For his part, the Man U fan seemed more aggrieved at all that time behind the wheel than anything else: “If they had asked to drive to Manchester, Leeds or even Liverpool it wouldn’t have been so bad and maybe I’d have seen the funny side. But to drag me all the way to Aberdeen was just cruel,” he said.
