on a roll..
So with the new domain name all in place - it was time to see if my ovoid chum can continue bringing home the bacon.
In impressive piece of intuition on Unazukins part last night gives me confidence and unnervingly part of me feels even more compelled to believe that Unazukin is capable of forcing the event rather than predicting it. I am so glad she chose not to bet on the England match as we had enough problem scraping a win against Equador without this pocket monster using her powers to turn the match against us.
Today Unazukin decides to continue avoiding the easy games and instead of coercing me into sticking some nice safe money down on Brazil drubbing Ghana - she opts to bet on Spain v France. This game would be a tough call for any human but luckily Unazukin isn’t preoccupied with nonsense like current form or the fact that France’s team are verging on geriatric. All she has to rely on is the fact that she simply knows the result.
“Unazuuuuukin” I wail (in a zombie fashion because I feel that me and Una know each other well enough for me to be a little flippant now and again) “Will Spain avoid choking like they normally do and finally reach their world cup potential?”
1 shake. Harsh. The Spaniards do have a well earned reputation for underachieving but to think that they will lose to a frankly average French team who are so far over the hill is unlikely at best. I am sure that this is a momentary blip and worry that my theatrical impersionation of the undead might have put her off. I think that she will probably shake her head to France and get things according to plan next time around.
“Unazukeeen” I say with a cod french accent that truth be told probably originates somewhere between France and Mexico “Do you sink zat ze mighty French weell beet zose orrible Spanish persons?”
2 nods. Frankly I would admire her balls if it wasn’t my money that she was playing fast and loose with. I feel in my heart that her losing run is going to stop here and for a moment wonder if it is worth putting the money down. Then I put things into perspective - I have been on a pointless trip to Glasgow on the say so of this toy - I would be letting myself down badly if I didn’t bother to keep on with the plan now. Besides it looks like the perfect opportunity to see if Unazukin does the power to force her will upon the result.
I get 2/1 on France to win which in my estimation seems a little tight. OK i’m aware that there are only 2 possible winners but still - Spain have some incredible young players who in the heat of summer are going to run Zedane, Viera and the rest of the French grave dodgers into the ground. Spain topped their group whereas France scraped through by the skin of their gallic teeth. I select my bet of £10 and mentally say farewell to the cash and the gambling phase of the Unazukin project.
Except I don’t. After going one nil down - France have a revolution. In the dying moment of the game, when the elderly French gents should be hankering after a glass of warm milk and a nap, they come alive and spank Spain 3 -1. Everybody is stunned. The TV pundits can’t believe it and eulogise about how nobody could have predicted such a course of events. They are wrong - Unazukin predicted it - and I start to genuinely believe the Unazukin was somehow partly responsible.
