Football season is here, and whether your team is killing it or breaking your heart, one thing’s for sure, you need the ideal setup to enjoy every match. From must-have snacks to mood-saving backups.
Here’s your game day survival kit for watching with friends and family.
THE PERFECT VIEWING SPOT
What is the first football watch party rule? Take a seat as soon as possible. Place yourself where you can view the screen without straining your neck, whether it’s the couch or that lucky chair that has witnessed every victory. Expert advice: Simply scowl at someone who tries to take your place until they move.
SNACKS THAT WON’T LET YOU DOWN
Unlike your team’s defense, your snack game should be tight. Go for options that would keep the excitement going and won’t distract you from the game. Consider options like popcorn, suya, shawarma, small chops, peppered gizzard, chopped fruits and plantain or potato chips.
DRINKS THAT KEEP THE VIBE GOING
A football watch party would not be complete without beverages that reflect the game’s highs and lows. When your team scores, you’ll want something celebratory, maybe a fizzy drink with the right blend of sweet and refreshing to toast with, like a chilled bottle of Razzl.
Resetting your emotions and voice cords with a refreshing drink is helpful during those intense moments.
COMFORTABLE GEAR
The goal of game day comfort is to ride the emotional rollercoaster in style. You need clothing that can withstand 90+ minutes of intense yelling without limiting mobility, dramatic flips when your team loses, and startling jumps when they score. Try putting on your lucky jersey (non-negotiable) with a baggy comfortable jeans. Keep an emergency hoodie by the side in case the weather gets the best of you.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FRIEND
Choose one person who won’t criticize you for yelling at the television and would join in with the dramatic reactions to a missed goal. This cannot be negotiated.
Whether your team wins or leaves you questioning your loyalty, the real victory is surviving the match with your snacks intact and your voice still working. So grab your suya, stock the fridge with Razzl, and get ready because game day is about to get loud, sweet and spicy, and it’s all totally worth it.
