Larsson has equalised in the last minute for Sweden!

Man:
"Um... Honey, I love you..."

Other end of the phone:
*The BT customer you are calling can no longer be reached at this time...*


First off why would you put a £40000 bet on something so unsure??

Secondly why would you pick this game?? The win wasnt that important?? This guy must have more money than sense or if he hasnt he is probably trying to find his next meal as we speak.
