Ah, I just knew France was going to lose after I bet on them. Not that it was a terrible match, the sides were actually rather evenly matched, right up to the penalty shootout, at least neither of the teams pulled a Switzerland, or even worse, an England, though France came real close with the red-card-followed-by-wretched-penalties combo. Trezeguet must be feeling terrible right now. Why Zidane got himself a red card, I have no idea.

Nobody's realised this yet, of course, but now that the World Cup is over, evil teachers now have an excuse to give us more work to "make up for lost time". It's a disaster waiting to happen. Yep, you heard it here first.
