...World Cup mania. Many female college students seem to have a love-hate relationship with the ongoing 2010 FIFA World Cup. They say classmates are so obsessed with the World Cup that they overlook their girlfriends. Eager to watch the opening ceremony on June 11, law student Li Ou at Neijiang Normal University  in Sichuan Province urged his girlfriend Wang Xue to hurry up and finish dinner that evening so he could race back to the TV set. Wang was upset that her boyfriend left with only an apology. When the ceremony was over, Li felt guilty and tried to apologize to her. Wang didnt except his explanation, shouting, "Do you want to stay with football for the rest of your life!".
Just like Wang, many female students hate the World Cup because their boyfriends are so absorbed in the soccer matches that their girlfriends feel totally ignored.

A college blogger calling herself Zhong Heyong wrote an article on qq.com titled, A letter to the World Cup: No. 1 Rival in Love for Female College Students. The letter expressed the students's jealousy of the World Cup in the rivalry for her affection. "Why do you, World Cup, let me witness this intimacy between you and my boyfriend? From high school to the third year in college, he looks forward to you and is prouder of you then me." She poured out her disappointment with her boyfriend, saying that her heart was broken because after being with him four years, she couldn't compete with a football.  At the end of the letter, the author surrenders to the World Cup but still hopes her boyfriend will love her forever. "I totally lose. I present my boyfriend the World Cup. I hope it will give him amazing memories and hope he will get tired of it after a while. Then he will love me again forever."

To avoid his girlfriend when the games are in progress, a freshman at Wenhua College, Huazhong University of Science and technology in Wuhan, Hebei province set down 10 rules for his girlfriend. The regulations stipulated the times they could hang out, date, or even pick up the phone when the World Cup is on TV. One of the regulations said, "Football matches are my life. We can't hang out, have dinner or call each other when I'm watching the World Cup. We must cancel all kinds of entertainment." The telecommunication freshman, Zhu Xiaofeng, said he wrote the rules for fear of quarreling with his girlfriend, Wang Xiaoxiao, when the games are under way. "So I set the regulations for the purpose of enjoying the World Cup and reminding my girlfriend in advance," Zhu said. Wang surrendered and agreed to obey the rules. "The World Cup is once every four years. Compared to the time we are together, it's a small percentage. I should permit several days' leave for my boyfriend to watch the match," she said.

Meanwhile, the World Cup has inspired a new kind of dating game. Some single female students make full use of male fascination with football to hunt for a partner. Xiao Dou, a female student at the school of foreign Language, Neijing Normal University, is a soccer fan. She asked a young man whom she recently met to send her chocolates. She explained that she needed something sweet to eat while watching the matches at night. As a reward, Xiao Dou invited the young man to watch the World Cup with her. A short while later, they announced to the whole world that they were falling in love."

I mitt tycke en mycket underhållande artikel jag igår läste i kinesiska Global Times. Rolig text, roliga kineser, roliga ordval. Roligt. Underhållande. I samma tidining var sedan ytterligare en artikel där det stod om alla sjukintyg som skrivs ut nu under VM. De kostar mellan ett- och trehundra rmb och håller ungefär en vecka. Då hinner man se en hel del matcher! Hahaha. De är fan inte kloka.
