He sits down in front of the TV and turns into a fan animal. How to survive the Euro without divorce?

Behind almost every football fan who can’t wait for the next Euro 2024 matches, there is a partner who trembles at the thought of everything that awaits her. You can hang notes around your husbands’ necks for a good few weeks: “out of service”. In the near future, ladies will be able to observe them in their natural environment. [Teraz wchodzi głos Krystyny Czubówny]. The men sit comfortably on the sofa, turn on the TV and assume a position. At first they are relaxed. They are sitting with their backs, some are holding a bottle of drink in their hands, they are smiling. However, the very first actions make them release their hands, lean forward and rest their elbows on their knees. At this point we can observe the first murmurs: “That turned out great” or “I could have done it better myself.” When it gets hotter on the pitch, the atmosphere in the living rooms also thickens. There are nervous jumps and even jumps from the couch, lively gesticulations and clapping of hands, all of it enriched with even more lively language. But we won’t quote this anymore.

Euro 2024: how to stay with a guy who is a fan?

It happens that men’s partners stand by their side and bravely support both themselves and the players on the pitch. After all, there are also many football fans among women. However, if we do not belong to this group, and when we see (and hear) our man we want to go out of our way, it is worth organizing this time away from the panting and screaming. Life is full of stress anyway, so you can let this one go, right? How to survive the European Championships with a real fan at home? Here are some tips.

The date of the championship is announced well in advance. So you can do it in advance plan various activities. It may be a culinary workshop, a gymnastics session, a kayaking trip, or something larger, such as a weekend trip to the lake or to the spa. It is also worth making an appointment meeting with colleagues who were equally injured at that time. However, it’s better to skip the bars, because we won’t be able to escape football emotions there.

However, running away from home is not always possible. We don’t always feel like going outside after a long day of work or other duties. Then it’s good to distance yourself from football reality. It is worth investing in noise-cancelling headphones and listening to music, an e-book or a podcast. You can also sit in front of the computer and see what our Sims are doing. The next level in Candy Crush or 2048 won’t happen on its own.

Fans of cooking or baking will be happy in the kitchen during this time. These activities bring several benefits, because not only will we simply relax, but we will also eat something good, and sometimes we will also soothe the frayed nerves of our private football experts. Maybe it’s worth betting on a lightly salted brownie just right for the game?

Recipe for a brownie with a salty note

Ingredients:

• 2 bars of dark chocolate
• Cube of butter
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup of flour
• pinch of salt
• a handful of salty pretzels or broken sticks
• you can also add a few drops of vanilla flavor

A method of preparing:

1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a pot and leave to cool.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla flavor. Add the chocolate mass and mix. Add the flour and combine the ingredients.
3. Pour everything into a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place pretzels or crushed sticks on top. Put in the oven preheated to 160 degrees for half an hour.
4. Before cutting, it is worth waiting for the brownie to cool down.

If kitchen matters are not our thing, we may be exaggerating a bit. Flowers, of course. Gardening is a truly relaxing activity for many people. At the same time, we will keep an eye on the children who – to spare themselves from learning Latin – can also play outside.

If we prefer to take care of ourselves completely, maybe we’ll like “everything shower”, i.e. a comprehensive spa in your own bathroom. Peelings, depilations, masks, conditioners, manicures and whatever else your heart desires. However, it is worth taking care of snacks or food delivered, because after such a several-hour session, many beauty enthusiasts feel weak.

However, let’s take the above with a pinch of salt. Even when the championship is underway, the men are not completely cut off from the world and they also see other things apart from the TV. Not everyone turns into a fan animal that you are afraid to approach. Nevertheless, if we are looking for a distraction and want to skip the occasional shouting and couch wisdom, it is worth planning this time so that it is also pleasant for us.
