England vs France

This must be one of the most exciting match i've ever bet on. Daniel, Bucky and myself had each place $5 on a 1-1 draw between the 2 sides and watched the match together at Jackie's house. The odds was $6.50 and we could have won $32.50.

England opened the scoring during the 1st half with a bullet header from Frank Lampard much to my delight. After England's goal we were supporting France all the way. The 2nd half was breath taking. First, England was awarded a penalty...David Beckham steps up and misses! We all shouted in delight. But it wasn't over and we needed a France goal.

Then one minute into injury time..France was awarded a free kick. Zinedine Zidane steps up and curls in for the goal! All 3 of us stood up and starting jumping around and high-fiving each other in delight. 1-1!!

To our horror, our delight was shortlifted. With only 1 minute left on the clock before the referee will blow, Steven Gerrard made a terrible mistake and accidentally pass the ball to Henry in the box...David James tried to stop him but trips him...penalty! WTF?! We were all lost for words...in other words we were dumbfound. We were praying for another miracle. Zidane steps up again and unfortunately he scores. We were fucking pissed...we thot we had the money in the bag...OLE KNN!
