i would be understanding. i have my own obsessions as well. i know how it feels to care about something so much you're willing to abandon the real world for a day or two. the presence of ladyloves may probably just dampen the mood, especially if anniversary expectations are involved. there's something special about male camaraderie in moments like this. anniversaries happen every year. these things happen only every four years (? i have no idea, please correct me if i am wrong) and the team he supports may not be in the quarterfinals next time. the girl will probably not have a great time as well if england lost and he'll end up taking out his frustrations on her. on their anniversary.

i probably don't sound like a girl saying this, but who knows? i might have done exactly the same thing the lady did if i myself was in that situation. but i'm not so i'll never know.
