There’s nothing wrong with not being a fan of football (though you really consider giving football a shot), but it is unforgivable to pretend to be a fan. That could get you in trouble or worse, make you a laughing stock. Here’s how you tell a real football fan from a fake one.
1. REAL FAN: “Did you see the match last night?”
