Lucky Sai
OMG... I think I'm Lucky Sai No.2 (My brother is Lucky Sai No.1)After losing my first bet ($5) of this World Cup on that kukufied German match (which I fell asleep watching), I decided to try my luck again tonight for the match between Japan & Brazil. It was kinda obvious that Brazil's going to win eh? But the odds for them to win by 1 is just 1:1.17 and by 2 is ard 1:1.60.
So I placed my bet on the half-time/full-time instead.
Half-time-draw/full-time-brazil --> 1:4.40
Hoping for a nil-nil draw in the first half, I decided that I should only watch the second half of the match. BUT TMD... Brazil conceded their first goal of the tournament to JAPAN in the first half and it has to be this match! RAH. I sat down and watched the match proper at 40 min when Japan was still 1-0 up. Then at 45 min, I was ALL READY to tear the ticket away. (Alright, there wasnt really a real ticket to start with, we phone-betted. I was just preparing to hand over the 5 bucks to the brother). There's only 1 min of injury time okie.
THEN THEN THEN.... Despite being behind, though, Brazil maintained their composure and, with the clock ticking into injury-time, they pulled level with a goal engineered by Ronaldinho's vision. The Barcelona man ran at the Japan defence before picking out Cicinho on the right side of the penalty area and his header back across the face of goal was nodded home by Ronaldo. Whoooopeee doooopeee......... I'M STILL ALIVE! So first half ended in a draw. And like what they say, the rest is history cos' THAT.. was the turning point of the whole match.
Brazil went on to win their 3rd match in a row and I'm 22 bucks richer *KACHING KACHING*
Ps: For why the brother is hailed as Lucky Sai No. 1, that will be a different story all together.
