Why oh why do they always do close ups of attractive women crying when their team loses?! Does anyone else find this a bit creepy? Disclaimer- I have no idea if they are men and this is slightly lighthearted before anyone feels the need to froth.

My DH and his friends noticed this and wondered if the camera men were deliberately hunting for the attractive Swedish women. So it’s not just you!

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 07/07/2018 22:00

Do you know I thought I was imagining this or my feminist head was playing confirmation bias! I’m so glad it isn’t just me that has noticed!

StoorieHoose · 07/07/2018 22:00

They do close ups on men crying too though.

BigCarrot · 07/07/2018 22:02

I noticed this particularly tonight!

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 07/07/2018 22:02

Yeah... they pick out the pretty ones during the game and save them to zoom in on at the end 🙄

All very predictable and a bit weird.

Blizzardagain · 07/07/2018 22:02

I saw loads of the men crying after the Columbia match?

specialsubject · 07/07/2018 22:02

happens at f1 and Wimbledon too. who gives a toss about the crowd, however big their tits?

NotAgainYoda · 07/07/2018 22:02

Oh its a deliberate ploy to find an attractive woman in the crowd at every opportunity - crying or not.

CambridgeAnaglypta · 07/07/2018 22:03

Is there a problem with this?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 07/07/2018 22:03

Yes! On the swedish game there was three very attractive crying women they kept focusing on! It's so weird. I wonder if they have a brief, find a few men dressed strangely, then a few women crying. BUT THEY MUST BE GOOD LOOKING WOMEN

I think it's mildly amusing that they always manage to find pretty fans in the crowd except for when England are playing. Not sure what they're trying to imply about English female football fans!

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 07/07/2018 22:04

No problem just an observation.

You mean they didn't do any blokes dressed up as Vikings? We must have been watching a different match

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 07/07/2018 22:06

See previous post of a men dressed strangely. I'm not saying you never see close ups of men at football games, that would be weird, just that the close ups of women are 90 percent attractive women.

I’ve just watched the Russia penalty shoot out and the camera men repeatedly focused on a Middle Aged Russian couple who weren’t particularly good looking

NewYearNewMe18 · 07/07/2018 22:11

The Scandinavians are aesthetically pleasing, I'm not sure they have time to go looking for the less pleasing ones to fill some bizarre viewers quota

SmashedMug · 07/07/2018 22:13

Maybe all the ugly ones stayed at home.

InglouriousBasterd · 07/07/2018 22:15

Ha - i noticed this! It’s a good drinking game...

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 07/07/2018 22:15

Yes every single person from Sweden is attractive. Every one of them. That's a lot more plausible then the camera man picking out a few pretty ones to focus on...

Except when filming the England fans it’s always a fat bald guy with no shirt on

starzig · 07/07/2018 22:16

No one wants to see the uglies?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 07/07/2018 22:17

I mean Sven Goren Ericsson or however you spell it was absolutely gorgeous

OP posts:
Ethylred · 07/07/2018 22:17

Don't know if you've noticed, but in the films almost all the women are good-looking too. Shocking it is.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 07/07/2018 22:18

The english are notoriously ugly. (Covers all mirrors).

We noticed it too. It’s bollocks as usual.
