Hands up if you even set up an alarm to make sure you don’t miss the cut-off time! You also spent hours reading about the players and teams so that you’ll win the week’s matches and pretend you’re their team’s coach. Hey, no one is judging. You do you! ?
2. You schedule your life around the match fixtures

Scheduling a nap before the 2am matches is part of your routine ? You’ll even go as far as clearing out your weekend just to make sure you can enjoy the matches in peace.
3. You make sure to have your footie snacks and drinks ready
Your football match snacks are separate from your daily snacks. And no one is allowed to touch your stash. Nothing’s better than iced cold Pepsi to pair with crunchy and salty chips! Perfect for a football match! ??
4. You’ll still watch the highlights even when you’ve watched the match

What’s better than watching your team score the goal? Watching it again! You’ll even read the comments and take note of the players that you’ll choose for your fantasy football league ?
5. Your small talks start with “Did you watch the match last night?”
This works well if you’re talking to a fellow footie fan, but expect to hear crickets if they’re not ? If you’re lucky, they’re also a fan of your team and you can go to great lengths talking about football and its history.
6. You're checking scores of other matches while watching a match
That’s what the Internet is for, amirite? It’s for research purposes (a.k.a your football fantasy league). It’s also to make sure the other teams don’t overtake the ranking of your team! ?
7. You don’t mind waking up at 3am to watch your favourite team
Waking up at 3am is a nightmare for most people but you won’t even think twice to support your team. You’d probably even put on your team’s jersey cos you believe it brings good luck. Sure… ?
8. Your partner has told you many times to tone down your cheering

Especially when they’re sleeping and it’s three in the morning and you’d probably wake the whole neighbourhood. Nothing is worst than your team scoring and you can’t even scream in joy.
9. People know not to bother you when you’re watching football

You turn into a different person, TBH. Your eyes would be glued to the TV and your hands on the phone and nothing your wife/husband say will take you away from the match.
