Q. It will be difficult to escape World Cup football this summer.
Since you’re not a World Cup fan, how will you escape the
football mania and avoid footy fever?
Around 200 comments, including:
Binge on box sets and go out with my friends - few of whom are footie fans
Go to cinema, theatre, exhibitions, museums, art galleries, parks, etc.
Take advantage of cheap theatre/cinema deals instead (TV will be nothing but football)
No Plans. Will enjoy the traffic free roads when major matches are being played

I simply carry a shell in my pocket
Just ensuring that we display the Union Jack Flag
Just showing a St George's cross and an England T shirt
Once we score I keep my posture the same, or try to
We obsessively fill in the wall charts with EVERY team score, and
change pubs to watch every game - never watch England play in the
same pub more than once!
Wear my clean England top
Wearing lucky pants
Wear the team shirt
A minority do…
