Chapter 111. Shameless
On MSN, four close friends were screaming with excitement.
Eric tapped on the keyboard and asked, "How is it? How much did you make?"
Billy: "15,000 dollars, 9 times the odds, in the blink of an eye, I have 135,000 dollars. This is like living in a dream, Eric, you are my god."
Bordeaux made an angry expression: "I'm going to ask my mom if she gave you money secretly. Why do I only have $10,000? Now I have $45,000 less than you. This is not fair."
Warren kept making silly smiles: "Bordeaux, I think you shouldn't ask your mother this question. You always like to buy meaningless electronic products, and you are the only one among us who smokes. All your money goes to nicotine!"
Billy: "Thanks, brother. Finally there are some sensible people. Bordeaux, we have all advised you to quit smoking. It's not a good habit."
Eric doesn't smoke, and he doesn't like people who smoke in the living room or in the office. The feeling of smoke on his clothes is really annoying.
"Bordeaux, you really should quit smoking, or go to the hospital to check your lungs. You will be surprised."
At this moment, a screenshot of the account suddenly jumped into everyone's eyes, and the balance on it was nearly 500,000 US dollars.
Then came Judy's arrogant laughter: "Bitches, come and kneel down and lick the soles of my shoes. I can give you some tips."
"OMG! Why are you so rich?" Warren was extremely surprised.
"Because while you guys are playing games and partying, I'll often be working at the gym."
"Really? Why didn't you tell us?"
"Well, because my job is to induce customers to sign up for a card, by showing my sexual tension, you know, but that's not glorious."
"Wow. It seems that your work is very effective, but is the salary in this field so high?"
"It's not bad, because I not only seduce those lecherous men to apply for cards, but also their wives or daughters. I do stretching exercises and take baths with them. In short, I can't just suffer a loss, right?"
Upon hearing this, the four of them gave a thumbs up at the same time.
After several rounds of betting, Eric's assets soared from 10 million US dollars to nearly 800 million.
However, the World Cup group stage is almost over, and the next step is the 16-to-8 knockout round. On June 18, the Italian and South Korean teams will face each other.
If there was still controversy over whether the referee was bribed in the match between South Korea and Portugal, then this match was blatant bias and the referee didn't even bother to pretend.
The odds for Italy in this match are 1:1.5, and the odds for South Korea are 1:4.5.
After the group stage, all the teams have fought their way up. Although there are differences in strength, there will no longer be outrageous odds.
The four best friends followed Eric again and bet on the South Korean team to win, all staring at the TV intently.
Italy in blue can be said to be star-studded. The well-known players include Buffon, Maldini, Zambrotta, Totti, Piero, Vieri, and Cannavaro, Inzaghi, Gattuso and others are sitting on the bench. It is an absolute all-star lineup.
As for the South Korean team, there is no need to introduce it since no one knows them anyway.
Another heavyweight figure in the game is the referee Moreno, an Ecuadorian who is a well-known leader in football's black whistles. His most famous masterpiece is this game.
Eric could only mourn for the impending tragedy of the Italian golden generation. Of course, they had to lose. After all, how could I make money if you didn't lose? As the game started, Moreno started to show his power just 3 minutes later.
The South Korean team dived in the penalty area, and Moreno directly awarded a penalty without any physical contact.
Even if Italy expressed dissatisfaction, it would be useless. Moreno had already taken the money, so how could he make a fair judgment? It was a pity that the penalty was blocked by Buffon.
"FUCK! He couldn't even score a penalty kick. Is this Korean guy's brain full of shit?"
"What a loser! Why let this guy serve? Are the other ten guys all cripples?"
As the game continued, Italy began to charge towards the South Korean team's goal, and soon Vieri scored with a header, giving Italy the lead.
Warren: "OMG! Italy scored first, son of a bitch, the Korean team is really trash!"
Judy: "You Latin guys, you should learn from your ancestors. Their performance in World War II is worthy of your emulation."
Eric was speechless: "Calm down, brothers, the fun hasn't started yet, just keep watching."
Judy: "Well, don't let my money go to waste, or I'll have to live in your house."
Perhaps because they were lagging behind, the South Korean team became visibly impatient and their movements became more and more aggressive.
Suddenly, during the scramble for a corner kick, a South Korean player swung his elbow and Coco fell to the ground instantly. After rolling a few times, his blood dyed the surrounding grass red, as if he had been ripped open by an iron rod.
Billy slammed his keyboard in anger: "FUCK! The South Korean team committed a foul. With such a serious injury, I'm afraid they will get a red card."
Eric smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have Moreno."
Sure enough, Moreno seemed to be blind and did not make any call, which made the Italians so angry that they almost cursed.
Not long after, Totti was knocked down again by two Koreans, and the referee still pretended to see nothing.
Soon the game entered the second half, and just a few minutes later, the South Korean player elbowed Piero again, knocking him to the ground.
At this moment, Moreno was less than ten meters away. He was not nearsighted, but he judged that Pierola had committed a foul and instead calmed the Korean players.
Not long after, South Korea's No. 19 tackled Zambrotta with the sole of his shoe. Logically, this action should have resulted in a red card, but Moreno turned a blind eye.

Not long after, Totti was double-teamed and knocked down for the umpteenth time, and South Korea's No. 19 tackled Zanetti with his shoe again. Of course, Moreno still refused to give a penalty.
Just one minute later, Maldini was brought down, and South Korea's No. 14 took the opportunity to kick him hard on the back of the head. This was no longer kicking a ball, but killing.
After that, Italy continued to be elbowed, knocked down, and pulled, and many people were wrapped in gauze.
The South Korean team also knew that after this game, they would become the laughing stock of the world, but since they had already done it, they might as well do it to the end. They simply stopped pretending and went straight to a fight.
It was not until the end of the game that the South Korean team finally scored a goal to equalize the score and dragged the game into overtime.
Of course, the extra time continued with all-out fighting, with Moreno also providing a thoughtful assist. Not only did he send Totti off for diving, he also disallowed Italy's good goal on the pretext of offside.
This blind judgment made the Italian coach Trapattoni on the sidelines so angry that he started cursing and throwing things wildly.
Until the end, the South Korean team finally scored a goal and won 2:1, and this sinful game finally ended.
After watching the game, Eric was upset, but after all, he had cursed too many times in his previous life, so he was not surprised by the result.
However, there was unusual silence on MSN at this moment.
Eric: "Why are you silent? This is not like you."
Judy sent a sighing emoji: "Although I won, I didn't feel the excitement of making money."
Warren: "Yes, I feel guilty. Koreans are really awful."
Billy was furious: "I feel so aggrieved. South Korea is such a dirty country. It seems that everyone in this country has dirty blood flowing in their veins."
Bordeaux also echoed: "Looking at those cheering Koreans in the stands, I feel sick."
Judy: "I don't even have the mood to look for girls anymore. Forget it, I'll just take a rest today. My heart is hurting."
Seeing that these best friends were all depressed, Eric decided to give them a shot in advance: "If you have a low psychological tolerance, don't watch the next South Korean team game."
Judy: "Are we going to bet against South Korea in the next game?"
"Yes."
"FUCK! These bastards, I hate the feeling of making money from them, it's awful!"
"Relax guys, it's only a few days."
At the Asian Games, Koreans are still disgusting!
