I woke up to watch some clowns...
Yes! The world renowned new Czech Circus put up such a wonderful headlines-worthy performance this morning that editors of newspapers all over Europe and Asia may not have to mull over the headlines for the next two days! And no one is going to miss the "highly-skilled stunt" put up by the Czechs footballers that has put their homegrown porn stars to shame! Two years later, four years later and many years later... this 'stunt' of the Czech will be remembered and recounted by many.
Silly me! I woke up in the middle of the night to watch twenty-two adults playing (Turks) 老鹰抓小鸡 (Czechs) on a soccer field! The Czechs must have either idolised England so much or felt strongly that England's presence needed to be felt in this Euro that they attempted to emulate them. The score tells us that the Czech had done exceedingly well.
On the other hand, the 老鹰 wanted the net so much that it simply refused to give up finding its way there despite having rolled into Cech's embrace unwillingly umpteen times. And Cech, having done 75-minutes of world class pom-pom dance in front of the net finally gave way to the Turkey. But the creative Turkey decided to incorporate bowling into this Euro by giving Cech three strikes within 15 minutes to show the Czechs what it really meant to face a 'Turkey'.
Yes! Punters who had switched off their TV after the 62nd minute and happily went to the Singapore Pools booth to collect their winnings this morning must have hoped that the earth would open up and swallow them when they tried to cash their useless bet slips. And again, I wonder if any punter who had bet a fortune on Turkey tore his bet slip before the match ended. Haha!
Yes! For some who had stayed till the 95th minute, they probably lifted their TV sets and nearly had them flung out of the window. I wonder if any uncle had smashed his head with a beer bottle to see if things were for real.
Czech is out! They deserve to be!
A special round of matches should perhaps be played among Czech, Italy and France. The loser shall be placed in the middle of the field. Punters can then exchange rotten eggs at 1 per dollar bet they placed on the 'losing team' and send these eggs flying to this undeserved-to-be-in-Euro-team. It may help to bring down the blood pressure for some.
