World Cup jokes and memes

The 2022 World Cup comes to an end next weekend, so it seems an appropriate time to feature a random collection of World Cup related memes and jokes!

What do you love more, football or...?

Euro 2020 was originally due to start in a few days' time, but because of the corona virus it's now been postponed until next year. So for the benefit of anyone who is suffering from football withdrawal symptoms, this week's blog post has a footballing theme!

Here are some interesting results from a survey about the World Cup and specifically what men would be willing to do if England made the World Cup final...

1) Football crazy

Wife: "What are you thinking?"
Husband: "I'm just wondering what the England score is,

39% of men would pull a sickie if England made the final and they had chance to get a ticket.

2) Football before friends

16% of men would miss a friend's wedding if it clashed with the World Cup final and England were in the final.

We had a discussion about this at work and several people were shocked that some men would miss their friend's wedding to attend the World Cup final, but I have to say I was shocked because I expected the percentage to be a lot higher than this!
