DID you know that 52% of men would give up a “date” with a supermodel to see their side win the Champions League Final? Heineken has done the research. Of course, the question should not be ‘would you give up a date with a top model to see your team win the Cup’, but:
“If you decline Adriana Lima’s offer to date (shag) her, your team will win the Champions’ League once in the next three seasons. Do you shag her?”
It’s all in the question. Asking a Blackpool fan if he wants to shag a top babe or watch his side win the Champions League is akin to arguing which of Rebecca Loos or Vicotia Beckham is posher.
Anyhow, without further ado, the top ten life events that men from around the world would be willing to miss to see their team win are as follows:
1. A friend’s stag-party (62%)
2. A date with a girlfriend/wife (58%)
3. Meeting a girlfriend’s parents for the first time (55%)
4. An important meeting with the boss (48%)
5. A mother’s birthday (46%)
6. Best – Man’s duties (44%)
7. Wedding anniversary (44%)
8. Girlfriend’s birthday (44%)
9. University Graduation Ceremony (43%)
10. An important hospital appointment (43%)
