A MOTHER watching the Women’s World Cup final will be happy so long as England and Spain have fun playing each other.
Mum-of-two Susan Traherne, 42, is not really fussed about who wins today’s little kickabout in Australia because at the end of the day having a good time is the most important thing.
She said: “Nothing’s as life and death as the media makes it out to be. So long as all the girls are all friends when the final whistle is blown, that’s what really matters.
“When it’s on I’ll be half watching, half flicking through the latest issue of House Beautiful. There’s a cracking feature about making autumn centrepieces for the dinner table I don’t want to miss. That’s my World Cup final.
“If anyone scores I’ll be sure to look up and cheer and tell them I definitely saw the goal. It’s a reflex all mums develop through years of pretending to watch their little ones and husbands muck around in soft play or at cricket.
“That reminds me, I need to phone Emma down the road for a meandering, pointless conversation. I’m sure nobody will mind if I talk over the commentary for the next 90 minutes or so. It’s not like you need to hear what’s happening anyway.”
