We're all crazy about football and don't think twice when it comes to expressing our opinion on social media platforms, or even face-to-face! And when the discussions get all heated up, it boils down to who is more passionate about the sport.
However, it could also be that we love football so much that we are addicted to the sport. Nothing wrong with such addiction as long as it doesn't take a toll on our health and overall wellbeing. And it's much better than being addicted to let's say online gambling! Talking about online gambling addiction, Gamstop in UK helps people take remedial measures in terms of voluntarily excluding themselves from casino gaming platforms. In fact, here's a Betrush report about Gamstop which states that the program will soon be made compulsory by UKGC for all online casinos operating in the country.
Getting back to football addiction, if people start telling you that it's getting too much, perhaps it's time to look out for signs of football addiction and to take appropriate measures to keep it a healthy affair.
Football becomes a part of every conversation
Have you ever been a part of a family gathering or met up with your best mates only to end up blabbering about the beautiful game endlessly? Of course you have! You can't seem to have a conversation without bringing the latest scores in or talking about the expensive transfers. An hour or more passes by even without realising! This is a clear indicator that you are addicted to the game!
Play football-themed video games
All football lovers have played a football-themed video game at some point of time. Whether it is Pro Evolution Soccer or FIFA, football-themed videogames have gained immense popularity over the years. Today, you can even create your own football teams and develop your own stories using the career mode. Interested in signing up Lionel Messi for Oxford United? Who is stopping you?! Provided you do well enough to make it to the Premier League. You can even get a chance to play with the past legends of the game.
Make a match of it, every time!
There is a big Derby up on the TV tonight and you are in complete mood to make a match of it, even if none of the two teams are your favourites! It's football after all! You get everything in place, put on your favourite jersey, park yourself in your TV room and excitedly wait for the match to begin, with a drink in your hand! What's even better is that there's a whole bunch of games scheduled over the weekend! Yes my friend, you are addicted to football!
Constantly check highlights and scores
Whenever you are on the move, whether it's a Tuesday night or a Saturday afternoon, being a football fanatic you know there will be a game and you stay constantly on top of the scores, wherever you might be, with the help of present-day technology. A few clicks on your mobile phone screen tunes you into the Premier League game that has just gone into the extra time. How about watching that 89th minute winning goal once again?! Football addicts literally watch every single game and try to get every bit of football action they can.
