I have an easy solution to the angst that seems to be consuming you.
Just ignore this football thing. You will be none the worse off for not
knowing who beat whom, when and by how much. You will probably be
healthier - physically and through avoiding stress - if you go for a run
instead of lounging in front of the TV watching other people run.

long-running radio serial. For the 15 minutes that the Archers were on,
the phone was off the hook, they wouldn't answer the door, and if you
happened to be visiting, you were told in no uncertain terms to either
shut up or get out!
Now the Archers - at least in those days - were fairly innocuous. But
soaps, as they are called, rely on shocking story lines to keep viewers
hooked. Brazilian soaps, which you are likely to find in India, if not
Bollywood ones, rely on nudity and promiscuity to keep things
interesting. Divorce, abuse, violence, dishonesty, watch the soaps and
get your mind filled with these things.
So I'm afraid that I agree with your visiting preacher. Do *not* fill
your mind with such things. "Whatsoever things are pure, honest,
truthful, of good report ..."
