"Но когда по телеку показывали футбол, тут кипели...

“But when football was shown on TV, emotions were in full swing. Slippers flew, the mat stood in a house nine floors. I remember that my parents were invited to some event, and at that time Spartak got in touch with Dynamo Kyiv, and it got to the penalty shootout. So mother was already in full evening outfit, she stood in a fur coat in the hallway, waited for dad to see how it would end, Dasaev beat off a decisive blow, dad exhausted, I started to jump for joy - the joy was that the team for which I was a fan won It turned out later that almost all the "normal" men were late for that measure They watched football, and those strange men who arrived on time and looked painfully at the served tables and swallowed saliva were off topic all evening. Everyone was discussing football - Dasaev and the others, there was no other topic, the birthday man was not offended. He was too late "My wife steered everything. It’s good when your wife doesn’t saw you for your love of football."
