10 Reasons Why Every Woman should Watch Football

Today is the start of the English Premier League, and as a stiletto wearing football fan I thought I'd need a little motivation to follow up again this season despite the lack of investment my football team has made during the summer transfer window. I normally don't talk about this sport here ..'Football' -which happens to be a big part of my life. It's helped me make better fashion choices(reason 10), and of course a lot of other perks I've enjoyed. If you watch soaps, this is a year long soap that happens every season...I've compiled some videos why I think every woman should watch football, I know it's already popular...but for those who don't watch it...here are my top 10 reasons why you should............................

1. Who wouldn't like to see a grown man cry

·    

            

               2. Proof that men are the weakest sex...watch what happens when you tap them a little 

3. They try to convince us being too touchy feely are for the ladies...now watch this.

When Cesc Fabregas wanted to go back to play for Barcelona from Arsenal,  he said his heart was there. Well we all know he wasn't talking about Barcelona FC surely, he  meant 'Pique' .......

4. Men apparently "don't" betray, argue, fall out or back stab their friends like women do .....now watch this?? 

5.  Understand the man in your life, like a footballer who commits to his team but keeps his eye firmly on the market 

6. It becomes okay to have David Beckham as your screen saver..he's your "football icon" isn't he??

7. You can now go to watch the football too, is that not where he says he "goes to" every Saturday??

8. They take off their shirts at every given opportunity - have you ever wondered why most men know the lyrics to 'single ladies by Beyonce.....??

Some sport Eye candy's -not my compilation 

 

9. Proof men do cheat.....

10.        Learn to CREATE and MANAGE your wardrobe by understanding how a football manager sets up and put together a flowing functioning team, that can play together, complements each other, have their own unique style of playing that is identifiable with the ultimate goal to win and stand out at ANY competition.

 A football team must present a squad of up to 25 players for a year long season. They can field out 11 players and 7 substitute players and allowed to use 3-6 of the substitutes on one game depending on the competition. Managed by a manager and other support staff (Coaches, Physios, etc)  and ultimately have an owner or a group of shareholders.

So how does this relate to your WORK wardrobe?

• You being the manager, your friends, advisors/ stylists etc being the support staff and shareholders being those who are affected by your wardrobe. Example being Work bosses who have a dress code for all workers, that will ultimately influence your work wardrobe choices. 
• Ultimately all you need are 25 pieces of clothing to have an effective work wardrobe in a year. As identified above must include strikers, wingers/midfielders, defenders and a goal keeper. You've got 11 strong 1st choices and substitutes you can use.
• Understanding your wardrobe and the formation of your ideal team will help you know where to focus in terms of buying more substitutes. Football teams have many formations. 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 3-5-1 etc. All this mean is how many defenders, midfielders and strikers you will field out and the positions they play. A very defensive team will like to keep it tight at the back and middle, and will not put a lot of effort in going forward. They might end up playing with more defensive midfield players, while most attacking teams will open up and have more strikers/attacking players. What this means for our wardrobe is, we can focus on our defence, build and invest in more solid bases like trousers, skirts and very good lingerie and have a few blouses to wear across a varied range and styles of bottom. We could have a few classic bottoms and a varied range or tops or we could have a standard wardrobe with a matching top for every bottom. My basic rule is that any item you add to your wardrobe can be paired with at least 3 other existing pieces. 
• Some teams depend on buying expensive players all through e.g. Real Madrid-Galactico's, Chelsea FC etc. While these have earned some instant success for others it wasn't sustainable. Others use a mix of expensive and efficient low cost players. The most successful are those who have a good mix of players that can complement each other, play as a team and of course stay successful. For your wardrobe, a galactico wardrobe will have all 11 designer pieces, such as Victoria Beckham's. While some enjoy a good mix, some are all cheap and like many football teams are always in a relegation battle. Think about the mix of pieces you have and the chances this gives you at your work place. It might be that all you need is a galatico shoe or bag, a decent pair of pants and cost saving blouses to make your statement at work. Think about what you can afford, no point spending what you don't earn. Think of your competition, the survival is always for the fittest.
• Ultimately you're the boss, learn how the best bosses build their teams, I'm talking Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho among others..Whether you are dramatic, classic or just sporty in nature, putting your personal mark on your look is the best way to create a YOU image that's fab and identifiable.

Hopefully I've convinced you enough to start paying close attention to the sport, there'll be no need to fight for the remote any more too, plus remember that football is Friday night, Saturday midday and evening, Sunday lunch time and of course match of the day both day nights, Monday night and Champions league Tuesday and Wednesday, all you've got is Thursday which is maybe Gym Night or UEFA cup. That's a lot of time away! Above all ....it's fun, it's full of drama, a lot in it for the ladies plus it makes you better at the stuff most important to us....'Our wardrobe'...

                         Stay fab and keep watching...........
