I shouldn’t have started on this World Cup gambling thing. Especially not with Z.
In just two matches, my losses have skyrocketed: I need to pay her in squid ink pasta at Valentino, mussels at Gourmet Plus, and a full dinner at Mag’s Wine Kitchen. I should’ve learned to cut my losses before they started mounting.
Some things learned this World Cup:
Peter Crouch needs to take a leaf from Materazzi: get something from your height, dammit. Especially from a corner.
A wink and a dive can cause an entire country to revolt against you.
Does Barthez have freckles on his bald head, or something?
Ray Domenech looks like he could be my professor. He is such a cool coach.
People who don’t understand anything about football think the World Cup final is about 1 billion people watching 22 Frenchmen and Italians kicking a ball around. They’re wrong. It’s really about 1 billion people watching 22 Frenchmen and Italians, falling all over, getting penalties for non-existent fouls, grabbing their calves and performing spectacular dives which drama students worldwide could do well to study.
Zizou’s chosen a totally puzzling manner to end his professional career; i.e. with a strange head butt that sent him off.
Betting on food is a win-win situation for winners and losers.
