The World Cup is held every four years, today! sky! end! At! open! race! !
As in previous years, before the game comes, the joke will go first.
Today's World Cup is still warmed up with the question of "how to explain offside to my girlfriend", and then to popular science "the essential knowledge points for pseudo-fans of the World Cup", "how to pretend to understand the ball king" as the peak, and finally everyone is gambling. The curtain came to an end among the dogs.
No matter whether you are a fan or not, once the World Cup month comes, your Weibo and Moments will definitely be swiped by various World Cup topics.
There are even more strange things around, some who take leave and stay up late to watch the game, some who resign and go to the scene, and some who can quarrel and break up with their partner for the sake of a game.
Such madness really makes many non-fans wonder:
Why do you love watching the World Cup?
The answer to this question, as a senior pseudo-fan, Leah, who knows the ball in Chaoyang District, was found in this football movie——
"Extremely Frenzy"
In 1991, at the age of 34, Nick decided to start psychotherapy by writing a memoir. A year later, a memoir novel about how Arsenal won the league title in 1989 was published and sold.
Many people may be surprised. Why do you recommend a movie about a league team when you are talking about the World Cup?
There are three reasons. The first point must be because I am a diehard Arsenal fan. If I want to recommend a movie about football, it must be "Extreme Fever", which is known as the "Bible for Gun Fans".
That's right, this is naked entrainment of private goods.
Second, of course, because today is Thursday, please make good use of Baidu if you don’t understand the most famous old meme in football.
Third, press no table and talk about it later.

Fall in love with one woman but worship eleven men
I fell in love with football just as I subsequently fell in love with women: sudden, inexplicable, unpredictable, without the slightest thought of the pain and collapse it might cause me later.
On October 14, 1968, 11-year-old Paul watched the first football game in his life, Arsenal VS Stoke City.
From the beginning to the end of the game, the little he was squeezed into the crowd like this, and the crazy fans around him screamed in ecstasy for a goal, cursed for a mistake, and shouted foul language at the beginning of the F word.
Listening to the screams of the mountain and the tsunami, I was caught off guard. The passionate Paul fell in love with football and fell in love with Arsenal. This love is 21 years.
Since then, Paul's world has been redefined.
Adult Paul became a physical education teacher, but Arsenal is still the only one in his life.
His unit of time calculation has become a "season", and a year is no longer from January to December, but from the start of the league in August to the end of the league in May of the following year.
He goes to the scene every game, his underwear is Arsenal, his clothes are Arsenal, even after falling in love with the new female teacher Hughes, he can't change the focus of his life.
Hughes asked him to travel in May, and Paul, who was puzzled, refused her without hesitation: "No, I have a game to watch in May."
When it comes to the plan to start a family and start a business, the house is going to be bought opposite Highbury, the home ground of Arsenal, just for the convenience of watching football, and the name of the child has also been thought of.
Football and love seem to never be able to coexist.
Paul's enthusiasm for Arsenal gradually led to the conflict between the two. He didn't understand why Hughes couldn't tolerate his enthusiasm for Arsenal. Hughes would never figure out a problem: to spend 5 pounds on a concrete floor to watch a game. Meaningless game, why?
The relationship between the two was on the verge of breaking up, and a game of crucial importance to Arsenal started on May 26, 1989.
In the final round of the 1988-89 season, second-placed Arsenal were just one step away from the league title. All they have to do is to go head-to-head with Liverpool in the last game and beat Liverpool with a score of more than 2:0!
In the 89th minute, Arsenal took the lead with a score of 1:0 and three minutes of stoppage time left Arsenal running out of time.
The doorbell of Paul's house rang, and he was so nervous that he kept looking at his watch and scolding the team, ignoring the doorbell at all.
In the 90th minute, one of Arsenal's attacks was interrupted, and the doorbell was still ringing reluctantly. The mad Paul opened the window, and without looking at who it was, he rushed downstairs and shouted: "Whoever you are, please be damned please. Now! Now! Go! Go! You're in the worst 60 seconds of my life, and I don't want to see you!"
In the 91st minute, the score did not change in the slightest. Paul, who was completely desperate, could not face this defeat and slammed out.
In the 92nd minute, Arsenal fought back for the last time.
Unwilling, Paul turned back and rushed into the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Arsenal striker Thomas pick the ball past the Liverpool goalkeeper. The football slowly rolled into the goal and the score was rewritten, 2:0!
The ball is in! ! !
Arsenal scored a crucial goal in the last 30 seconds of stoppage time, reversing Liverpool and winning the league title after 18 years! ! !
Fans around Highbury flooded the streets to celebrate, and a lost Hughes saw Paul in the crowd cheering wildly, and on his face she saw a happy smile she had never seen before.
When anthropologists don't understand football, Paul, with all the enthusiasm of a fan, proves that football needs not understanding, but feeling.

Football is the best part of life
This is the third reason, even if this is a film that has nothing to do with the World Cup, it also explains about the World Cup, about football, what are we watching?
Watch a pure joy and sorrow.
Hi, it was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon in 2002, when students from all over China could openly skip class and watch the Chinese team's World Cup debut. At that time, no one would know that the significance of this World Cup to the Chinese team is the only one so far;
It was me and a good friend (Spanish fan) who were fans of the Netherlands. From 2010 to 2014, the Netherlands finally succeeded in revenge with a 5:1 game, and she, who watched the World Cup together back then, is no longer around.
Angry, it was me 16 years ago, even though I didn't understand anything, I watched how the Korean team stole Spain's two goals with a black whistle, and watched the Spanish players burst into tears after the game, I was holding the TV The machine cried heart-to-heart.
Sorrow, in the 2014 semi-finals, Brazil lost 7-1 shamefully to Germany at home. A white-bearded old man in the stands hugged the imitation Hercules Cup with tears in his eyes;
It was Zidane who was sent off in the final in 2006 and missed the championship;
It was Argentina's lore by Germany in 2014. Messi stepped up to the podium and looked at the gold cup from a distance;
It was the flying Dutchman who fell on the penalty spot again and again;
It is every sad tear that falls on the green field.
Le, the crazy Huang Jianxiang in 2006, shouted passionately after Grosso scored, "The great Italian left-back! At this moment he is not fighting alone!", I was dozing off and woke up by that voice. , watching TV in horror, stunned;
German coach Loew produced and sold it himself, picking his nose and eating booger while watching the game;
It was Suarez who couldn't hold back because the meat was too fragrant, and bit the Italian defender Chiellini's shoulder in one bite;
It was Rivaldo who was hit by the "UFO" and rolled on the ground with his hands over his face.
These jokes and memories have nothing to do with everyone's enthusiasm and commitment to football, and whether you know the ball, whether you know offside, or whether you know Messi.
Fans and fans are the same in a sense, we portray a goal, a game, a movie, a shot as the best thing in life, it's not a lack of imagination, it's not living A life of misery and poverty.
It's just that reality is so tasteless that we desperately need the possible, the unpredictable - the extreme frenzy.
Movies and football, although not the whole of life, must be the most exciting part...
Finally, this World Cup is about to start, who do you think will be the champion? Leave us a message.
