Girlfriends ignored in World Cup mania

BEIJING - Many female college students seem to have a love-hate relationship (愛(ài)恨關(guān)系)with the ongoing 2010 FIFA World Cup(2010世界杯).
They say male classmates are so obsessed(沉迷) with the World Cup that theyoverlook [??uv??luk](忽視)their girlfriends.
Eager to watch the opening ceremony(開(kāi)幕式) on June 11, law student Li Ou at Neijiang Normal University in Sichuan Province urged(敦促) his girlfriend Wang Xue to hurry up and finish dinner that evening so he could race back to the TV set.
Wang was upset that her boyfriend left with only anapology [??p?l?d?i](道歉). When the ceremony was over, Li feltguilty [?ɡilti]() and tried to apologize to her. Wang didn't accept his explanation, shouting, "Do you want to stay with football for the rest of your life!"
Just like Wang, many female students hate the World Cup because their boyfriends are so absorbed(著迷) in the soccer matches that their girlfriends feel totally ignored(忽視).
A college blogger(寫(xiě)網(wǎng)絡(luò)日志的人) calling herself Zhong Heyong wrote an article on qq.com titled, A letter to the World Cup: No.1 Rival(對(duì)手) in Love for Female College Students.
The letter expressed the student's jealousy [?d?el?si:](嫉妒) of the World Cup in the rivalry [?raiv?lri，?ra?vlri](競(jìng)賽) for her affection. "Why do you, World Cup, let me witness [?witnis](親密)this intimacy [??nt?m?si:](親密) between you and my boyfriend? From high school to the third year in college, he looks forward to you and is prouder of you than me."
She poured out(道出) her disappointment with her boyfriend, saying that her heart was broken because after being with him four years, she couldn't compete with a football.
At the end of the letter, the author surrenders(投降) to the World Cup but still hopes her boyfriend will love her forever.
"I totally lose. I present my boyfriend the World Cup. I hope it will give him amazing memories and hope he will get tired of it after a while. Then he will love me again forever."
