Matt’s Journal

I watched the game at a mates house tonight, the best way to watch footy….with your mates.

Anyways, I had placed three bets, one for the Germany match, one for the Trinidad and Tobago match and one for the England match. I had staked £2 on each one and had to get the first scorer and the result right.

As the day passed, I saw my first two bets goto waste. The England match came on, England go 1-0 up with a nice goal from Joe Cole, I think in the back of my mind that I could be in with a result if the result goes onto be 2-1 to England. Sweden quickly equalise and I hope that England score one more because a) I want them to win and b) if the result stays as it is, I win £100.

Seven minutes from time, Steven Gerrard comes on and scores……”could this be it?” I ask.

30 seconds from the end of the match, what do you know?

Course not…….match ends 2-2.

I suppose England dont have to play Germany now, but still!
