TOP TEN Most Annoying Questions I Asked My Son During the Women's World Cup

In light of the very exciting FIFA Women's World Cup which, may I add, ended in a THIRD Cup for the U.S. Women's National Team, my son wanted to share with you the Top Ten Most Annoying Questions I Asked while watching the event.  By the time the semi-finals rolled around, he limited me to a mere TWO questions a match.  Didn't seem fair to me, but so be it.

After much consideration, he chose the following for his list of most annoying (and in most cases repeated) questions I tormented him with:

1) What's that mean? (Every time an official raised a flag or blew a whistle.)

2) How is THAT not a foul? (Anytime things didn't go in favor of my team.)

3) Why are teams only allowed three substitutions? (Which was inevitably followed by - What if they need more? - Can you just hear him sighing?)

4) Is extra time 15 or 30 minutes? (Which led to other questions regarding penalty kick-offs,  sudden death, etc. - just to keep him on his toes!) 

5) Do they have injury time after the first half too? (Seriously, I never realized this.)

6) How is THAT not a penalty kick? (Again, anytime things didn't go in favor of my team.)

7) Why didn't she JUST kick it? (Many variations to this one: How did she miss that? What was she thinking? - Yes, I tend to oversimplify things.)

8) Do you think she's pretty? (This was more of a joke than a sincere question, just to tease him.)

9) Why are the trophy holders female models? (But seriously. Am I the only one to notice this. This is a women's event. As a spectator I don't want to see a bunch of female models stroll onto the field for the trophy presentations. Give ME some eye-candy that I will enjoy!!)

10)   Really? (Which followed every question I asked him, just to annoy him further. And, yes, he did count that as my second question.)
