Football is better with someone to high-five. Grab a friend, a partner, or a pet that tolerates shouting. My cat, Mr. Whiskers, once watched an entire Emirates Cup match with me. He didn’t understand offside, but he loved the grass patterns.
If you’re flying solo, that’s fine too. Twitter/X is your companion. Follow the hashtag #EmiratesCup and watch the world’s worst takes roll in. It’s like sitting in a pub full of comedians who are all slightly wrong. Delightfully chaotic.
Just avoid the match threads if you want to keep your blood pressure normal. Some people take a friendly pre-season game way too seriously. Don’t be that person.
