Acquisitions

Honestly, I don't like football (for our American buddies, soccer). I'm a proud member of "I Have Got No Idea What The Hell Is Going On There" club. Even though I consider myself a self-sufficient woman who doesn't distinguish between "men" and "women" activities or a social role, our club members are mainly women. It's little bit surprising because my father is a huge football fan who never missed any match of his favourite football team (Liverpool F.C., to be specific), wearing "The Reds" T-shirt every time he watched them playing on TV (however, I'm not absolutely sure if it really counts because he usually fell asleep after 30 minutes). Although I was surrounded by football as I was growing up, I couldn't quite get it. What so thrilling about 22 sweaty boys running up and down through the football pitch like idiots trying to catch the ball? Or twenty minutes there was nothing going on and suddenly, boom bang, the player started moving oddly, screaming, he scored! And the coach of rival team started to shout rude words and was getting red. Although I'm not a football fan, there are plenty of them in this world. And they love their game and their favorite football club so much that they want to buy it. Seriously, the obsessed Liverpool's fans want to buy the team because they just cannot stand the fact that it's being owned by some Americans (and openly, deserve somebody who calls football soccer the right to keep the most successful club in the history of English football?). Whatever, I'm going to ask my dad how much money he would bid.
