Ukraine playing its first game is a very emotional time. Anything can happen, and one can even meet that sweet, like-minded one in the crowd of thousands, must have thought many of the guys. And tried their luck.
Some of them, however, came up with the kind of pick-up lines that killed their chances right away. One of them was a guy who, a couple of minutes into the game, asked a lady: “So, what’s the score?”
Well, that’d just a dead giveaway. I mean, that kind of a line shows you’re either totally drunk or unbelievably stupid. Either way, she will tell you to get lost.
Here’s another one of my favorites: “I have brought a special anti-mosquito liquid that you just can’t buy in Kyiv.” Well, I have never heard that one before! In any case, sharing a mosquito liquid does not sound like a very likely scenario when Sheva is about to score his first goal for Ukraine.
But my favorite pickup line is about to follow. Imagine a crowd, all yellow and blue. All speaking Russian or Ukrainian. All staring at the screens anxiously. One guy is staring at a lady’s boobs, each of which has Ukrainian flags painted on them. What he says has got to be a classic!
“So, who are you cheering for?”
Man, you don’t have a chance!
