Before kickoff, you must perform a sacred dance. It can be the “I’m trying not to spill my pint” shuffle or the “my t-shirt is too tight” wobble. Do it with conviction. The gods of football are fickle and love a bit of public awkwardness.
Check your social media for “insider” injury news. Be warned: half of it is a guy in his mum’s basement making things up for likes. Look for the phrase “sources say”—that’s usually code for “I saw a pigeon that looked tired.”
Pour a drink—a nice ale or a tiny glass of something French to honor the opposition. I recommend a glass of water with a single olive floating in it. It confuses your taste buds and makes you feel sophisticated. The olive is definitely from Paris.
