Mission: Sardines

Highlight
Euro Cup 2012 had just wrapped up. Spain won by a spectacular 4-0 against Italy.

Background
In our Poshedik/Wondergals chat group, we played a little betting game in the lead up to the finals, predicting who would win. I chose Italy, simply because I had a dream on the night before the game, where Italy was leading by 1-0 by the end of first half. And also because I knew some other people were already supporting Spain. It would be more exciting if both teams have equal number of enthusiastic supporters.

The Supporters
Here was the full supporters for each team:

Italy
Octa, Octilivia, Heny, Hasan

Spain
Lina, Mery, Iin, Yenny, Jeanny

The Bet
If Italy won, supporters of Spain would have to eat pizza every day for a week. Likewise, if Spain won, supporters of Italy would have to eat sardines for a week. The losing team would have to prove that they carried out the penalty by posting photos of the purchase and actual consumption of the food.

During The Match
Instead of staying up and watching the game (which started at 2am here), I chose to go to bed and sleep, while I knew some Spain supporters were watching the match.

The Outcome
“Good thing comes to those who watched.” That’s probably a good saying in this case. Enough said, we lost.

The Consequences
Let the photos talk.
