Prediction aside, if you’re watching, remember: football is serious, but the real drama happens when halftime snacks vanish from the stadium stall. Okay, maybe the joke is on us for thinking the snacks ever last longer than the first half.
Punchline 1: If the game ends with a draw, don’t worry—the scoreboard just made a sharp turn toward neither positive nor negative—classic midweek suspense. Punchline 2: And if your fantasy team can’t decide on a captain, just give the armband to the nearest vending machine—it’s likely to keep producing goals (for your appetite, at least).
