when i was 22 (during the euros) i was working glastonbury w a bunch of 19yo lads & they did the whole 'name five players' thing & i looked them dead in the eye & went 'it's bc i'm a woman isn't it?'
i've also been in a café in barcelona at 7am w a couple of lost londoners discussing whether spurs or west ham were likelier to stay up & they told me i knew ball so maybe the times are changing
