What Would You Do To Not Miss the World Cup?

submitted by Sang on 06.29.2006

Living in the western hemisphere, the World Cup comes on at a very comfortable time, so Americans (north and south) and Canadians can watch the World Cup pretty much as soon as they wake up.

If you’re living in China or somewhere in the other part of the world, things are a little bit different, so diehard soccer fans would do anything so that they could watch the World Cup.

One man saved his TV from his burning house, plugged it back into a socket somewhere after he rescued it, and resumed watching.

Another man quit his job in order to watch the games.

Somebody else turned down a raise saying that World Cup > job.

Yet, another man locked his wife in the bathroom…I guess so that she wouldn’t get in front of the TV and tell him to go to sleep.
