America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 9 9. You’ve finished cutting, it’s my turn.

On June 6th, five days have passed since the last bet was placed. Presumably those spinach companies have finished recovering their blood and cut a lot of leeks.

Eric shook the red wine glass and sat leisurely in front of the computer. Since the spinach company had already cut a crop, it was his turn to cut one.

Moreover, those guys in Warren were enjoying themselves outside, spending his money for fun every day, and teasing him from time to time.

"My money!"

The most hateful thing is this little girl Judy, who sent him a lot of selfies, all of them in three-point bikinis, and she was surrounded by beauties, all in Latin style, hugging him from left to right, so happy.

"Mom, if you weren't too familiar with me, if you weren't a lesbian, I would have done a good job for you!" Eric took a sip of wine and thought bitterly.

Turned on the computer and posted the instructions on MSN.

"Everyone wake up. Today is the day to place bets. It's time for those casinos to bleed some blood."

Warren made an excited expression: "Are you coming? I've been waiting for you for several days. There are three games today, which one should we win?"

"Our goal is the second game, which is the United States versus Portugal."

Billy: "Tell me, brother, how much can Portugal win? My net worth is all the same!"

Billy's mentality also represents the mentality of the Americans. They themselves know what the level of football in their country is, so they have no confidence in their national team.

But the result was another upset, and the American team actually won.

So what is the famous saying on the pitch: Football is round and anything is possible.

Eric: "No, you're wrong. We have to beat the American team to win."

Judy immediately made a horrified expression: "Wait a minute, although the school teaches us to be patriotic, patriotism does not need to be related to money. Even the Bush family is ruthlessly stripping the skin of the country."

"I have not been eating, drinking and having fun these days. I have also studied football. Portugal is the favorite to win the championship and has a lot of big-name stars. They are the golden generation."

"And what is our American team? They are all rotten fish and shrimps. Together they are not worth as much as a thigh. This will be a massacre!"

Bordeaux: "I agree with Judy. This is not football or basketball. The United States is rubbish in football."

Eric had long expected their objections and typed the keyboard slowly: "I know football better than you. Think about the first game. Does anyone think the French team will lose?"

"What's more, this is my money. I won't joke with my own money, and only by being unpopular can I make more money in a short time. Listen to me and execute the order."

Judy: "Well, now that you say so, it's your money anyway, but I won't go with it."

Billy: "I won't follow either."

Bordeaux: "Then let me forget it."

Warren: "Wouldn't you two brothers hedge your bets? Anyway, I only have one thousand dollars. If it's gone, it's gone. If you don't follow me, then it's better."

At ten o'clock in the evening, the game officially started. According to the strength ranking of both sides, this is still a game with huge odds.

Among them, Portugal's odds are 1:1.3, while the odds of the American team are 1:11.

This is the first game of the US team. There are no big-name stars. The team is all unknown players. Moreover, the core player Reina is absent due to injury. The whole world is not optimistic about them, and not many people think they will be upset. .

But after this game is over, the odds of the American team will be reduced, so if you want to make money from an upset, the best time is the first game of the group stage.

Portugal, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Figo, Rui Costa, Beto and others, who are not famous, look like they are bound to win, or even win the championship.

Under Eric's command, nearly $3000 million was sent to major gambling companies.

The reason why it is 3000 million instead of 1.9 million is because these companies cannot afford it.

Gambling companies are not fools. In order to prevent big upsets, they have set a betting limit. They can only bet so much at most. 3000 million is already the limit.

Nowadays, all the reputable and obtainable gambling companies on the market have been suppressed by the five Erics. As for the underground ones, forget about them. They are very unreliable and will run away if they cannot afford to lose.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the five people scattered around the world turned their attention to the TV screen at the same time. As a result, only 4 minutes into the game, the American team gave everyone who underestimated them a resounding blow.

The player wearing the No. 20 jersey headed the ball hard, but Portuguese goalkeeper Baia barely blocked the ball.

But the ball was not far away from the danger zone. Player No. 5 of the US team happened to come from the side and volleyed with his left foot. The ball hit the net and the score was 1:0. This was also the fastest goal in this World Cup so far.

For a time, the stadium was stagnant, and the whole world was stagnant. Judy, Billy and Bordeaux were also stunned. Only Eric and Warren were smiling.

Judy: "Shit! I suddenly regretted it. Is the American team so strong?"

Billy: "No way, if the American team is really strong, will we still be called a football desert?"

Warren made a mocking expression: "I have advised you a long time ago that you are absolutely right to follow Eric. Guys, remember to learn your lesson."

The next game was very different from the past. Portugal was sleepwalking, as if they hadn't woken up. The offense didn't look like offense, the defense didn't look like defense, and they were frequently threatened by the American team.

When the game reached the 30th minute, the two sides fell into a chaotic fight, and the No. 21 player of the American team kicked off and made a pass.

Unexpectedly, the ball hit the back of Costa's head during its movement, and then it changed direction strangely and headed straight for the goal.

No matter how experienced Baia was, he could not have expected such a strange route. The football hit the net again. In just half an hour, the score was rewritten to 2:0.

At this moment, not to mention Portugal was confused, even the American No. 21 who was shooting was confused. He was passing the ball instead of shooting. How could he score in such a daze? Still an own goal.

Then Beto fell and took the Topaz God of War card, which caused a burst of dissatisfaction among several people.

Billy: "This referee is too friendly, he should be given a red card!"

Warren: "This behavior is really unsportsmanlike and this guy should be kicked off the field."

Eric thought to himself, you guys don't know any better, and you're just going to talk nonsense. Basketball is also prone to diving and falling down at the first touch. This referee doesn't take illegal money.

The U.S. team scored another goal and continued to attack wildly. Just seven minutes later, the U.S. team broke into the penalty area again. Costa and Cotto were still sleepwalking. The U.S. team scored another goal. Before the first half was over, they were fucked. 3:0.

At this moment, not only the world was shocked, but the major spinach companies were also heartbroken.

Big upset, absolutely big upset. This game will make them spit out the money they earned in the past few days, and there will be no one knows how many more people will be on the rooftop.

On MSN, the four guys were all happy, but then something worried them happened.

After three consecutive goals, Portugal seemed to finally wake up. Two minutes later, Beto scored successfully and pulled a goal back, letting the four people know that this guy was not only good at diving, but of course he also attracted yelling.

In the following time, Portugal began to attack crazily, while the American team defended with all its strength, which made people nervous.

Until the 70th minute of the game, Portugal also rewritten the score to 3:2 with an own goal, and the whole audience cheered instantly. After all, there was a lot of game time left, and there was great hope.

Warren: "FUCK! Damn guy, what's going on with No. 12? Does he know how to play football?"

Bordeaux: "Damn Americans, we bring in so many talents every year, why not bring in a few stars?"

Eric: "I think it's not that I don't want to introduce them, but that this desert cannot attract people. When they are about to retire, they will choose the United States to retire."

"Uh"

The game continued, and the two sides launched an even more intense offensive and defensive battle. Warren said that his heart couldn't bear it. After all, he had lost 1000 US dollars.

Eric looked at the screen in a daze, the outcome of the game was already determined.

Sure enough, when the final whistle sounded, the loudspeaker also rang out with the intense howling of ghosts and wolves from the four players.

3:2, the US team defeated Portugal in a huge upset, and he seemed to hear the sound of gold coins falling.
