Footy fever ... sport is the favourite topic of discussion between men internationally, poll finds.
When men get together with their mates football is the main topic of conversation, not their wives and girlfriends or even work.

Nearly 90 per cent of men questioned in a global survey said they talked about their favourite football teams and players when they got together with friends, significant others came in a distant second at 45 per cent and work trailed behind with 34 per cent.

"It might not be the news women wanted to hear but it appears men really do only think about one thing when they get together with their mates - and that's football," said Tim Ellerton, of Heineken International which sponsored the poll.

Football most dominated male conversations in China and Russia, for 94 per cent and 93 per cent of men, according to the survey that spanned 15 countries and included 5300 men.

Women slipped to third place as a conversation topic behind second-placed work and top-ranked footall in Germany and France.

But England was unveiled as the most football-mad country in the world. Men discussed and watched their favourite sport there more than anywhere else. They watched an average of two hours and 22 minutes of football each week and spent even more time discussing the results, goals, tackles and gossip.

Brazil came in a close second with an average of 92 minutes of football watching a week, followed by Thailand, Ireland and Mexico.

South Africa, which is hosting the World Cup next month, was dubbed the most social nations because 20 per cent of men watched their favourite sport in group of 10 or more.

The survey by OnePoll included men in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Russia, Thailand, Ireland, China, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and the Netherlands.

Fifty-seven per cent of men questioned in the poll said they were more excited about the European Champions League tournament, which is organised by regional football body UEFA than the World Cup.

The tournament's final match is in Madrid on Saturday, pitting Italian league winners Inter Milan against Germany's top team, Bayern Munich.

What's really on men's minds ?

I think all one needs to do is to read the index of this chat section !   

I can't imagine what kind of men they interviewed because pussy is at least 50% of what my friends and I talk about before we start talking sports, family and work in that order

What's really on men's minds...(when people are recording it).

my mind is on girls and money. i work with money all day and i see hot girls walking in and out all day. oh yea i also think a lot about food. i'm always looking for somewhere new and good to eat. Girls, food, and Money!

It's always which girl is hot and how to make more money.  In reality, they are link.  The more money you got, the more girls you can score.

These images show what's on mens minds......

you hit the jackpot.. its gotta be Food, Money and Girls and also the next destination for a relaxing holiday..

I think the poll is spot on. It just so happens that the sport of choice for the members of this forum is not football, but whoring.

So men think about sexually assaulting horses all the time?

I believe that is another thread you are confusing with
